I used color schemes as an example, perhaps it was a bad one. I don't update it regularly, no.

As others have said, the appeal of Kak is orthogonality and accessibility. The keybindings are sensibly organized, there is exhaustive autocomplete and on screen documentation, and the configuration language is simple. It is ridiculously easy to write plugins for, because you can use shell scripting, or create a program in any language you want and invoke it from a shell block. Kakoune's LSP plugin is written in Rust and communicates with Kak via the shell.

Sorry if it looks like I was being flippant. I wasn't. I had some colleagues in the past that did adjust their colour scheme almost monthly. I think it was when syntax highlight first came onto the scene back in the mid 90s.

Oh you're fine! I didn't think you were being flippant. I've been using One Darker (One Dark with a darker background) for two years and don't have any plans to change anytime soon. Here's the source for the theme if you're interested. It has gotten a little bit more complex than I described in my post, due to supporting various plugins, but it's still pretty easy to understand.
