I won’t switch to BetterBird because the person behind it seems off.

Feels a bit like switching to TempleOS.

Honestly I don't see the Terry vibes. It's just someone who's really, really into email clients lol.

That's... not a bad thing, though? Terry was an extremely competent engineer and programmer who designed his software to be as user-friendly, well-documented, and performant as possible.

I have conversed with Jörg, and he is blunt and fair in a good way (code itself is emotionless, after all). And, of course, he is highly competent. I have also conversed with several Mozilla teams, including Thunderbird, and the experiences were universally horrible, as in they lacked core competency. Naturally, YMMV.
