What decisions is Mario making that you disagree with? My impression is Pi is minimal so any changes can live on top of Pi without needing to maintain a fork?

I started developing my own coding agent after using Pi for a couple months, so I’m curious what you don’t like about pi.

When I hear Mario talk about pi and his approach I find myself agreeing with a lot of it. But I also find myself agreeing with a lot of the points from this https://www.thevinter.com/blog/bad-vibes-from-pi
the opinions in question are that bash should be enabled by default with no restrictions, that the agent should have access to every file on your machine from the start, and that npm is the only package manager worth supporting. Bold choices.

To save others a click, though the article is worth reading.

He also mentions no subagents by default in pi as well.

oh-my-pi harness fixes many of these, like subagents
It seems to, but then also throws in the kitchen sink and a custom bath.
