I'll be honest. I really like projects like these (Spacemacs is another one that comes to mind), I've been a Vim user for a decade or so. Now I use IntelliJ since I primarily work with Spring, but for other side projects or one-off tasks these setups are really cool.

That being said, if this is intended to be widely adopted/viewed like Spacemacs, the marketing and presentation need a bit of work. Between the 'Chad' signifier and the screenshots sharing a color scheme with a tricked-out desktop and other terminal tabs, it's hard to tell if this is a serious standalone project or, to be frank, someone just showing off.

I thought “Google” put this lie to bed. But anyways, this looks like a slightly self aware project that markets precisely to who it needs to, given the list of “Chad contributors”.

What do you mean by this?

Although at first I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt by thinking maybe it was made by someone named Chad or whatever, the name of their newest release ("MegaChad") points toward it being a reference to Chad Thundercock, a fictional character in a series of 4chan memes popular among members of the "incel" community. Probably not something a "serious" or "professional" project would choose.

Yeah, it has left the 4chan community and entered the mainstream quite some time ago; e.g. here (https://old.reddit.com/r/virginvschad/), and it even has derivatives now (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/swole-doge-vs-cheems).

Yeah. It is general internet culture at this point.

Still not a great look though.
