I&#x27;m a developer. I used it.<p>The important thing is that the underlying idea is rock solid, and the work of taming all the crapily packaged software out there is <i>mostly done</i>. So yes there is work to do but its already getting easier. Big todos:<p>- Proper CI. We need to not merge PRs until we know the <i>merge commit</i> builds. (Travis is wrong in this regard.)<p>- Sane CLI. Things change over a decade (<i>cough</i> git <i>cough</i>), but good news is were going to replace the whole damn thing 0-fucks given for backwards compat and make something sane even for those that don&#x27;t appreciate&#x2F;understand the underlying elegance.<p>- Support for institutional installations: A central build daemon + farm is a pretty lame say to synchronize things. Should make it so anybody can build stuff, and anybody can share binaries with those that trust them, and shared NSF store or equivalent for de-dup.<p>None of these things are hard at all.
