"Why maintain it" is easy: I use it every day and it's faster than the alternatives.

If the docs are hard to read, PRs are welcome. But if "a wall of text" is the strongest critique here, the code's probably fine.

To restate my initial point, I don't think the speed is important for tools like `lazygit`. Even on the huge company-wide monorepos it's not a problem, as there are other ways to handle it. For now, you're selling Ziggity to the Zig bros.

Well, it is a blocker, since you haven't convinced me to try it. The only feature I find useful is the text selection, and to find it I had to dig through the "wall of text".

You have 10s to tell me what my pain point is and how you solve it, before I move on. I understand you're proud of the speed gains. But as a potential (typical) customer, I'm telling you it's not the problem I have.

Anyways, good luck with your project!
