We do waterfall still. We just call it agile because there are scrums and standups.

I understand the hatred of VB generally but as a non-programmer (just technically literate and knows enough to be dangerous with a computer) writing VB (in the form of VBA) was extremely accessible and surprisingly intuitive - far more than I ever experienced when dabbling in python, JavaScript and Rust.

(What I made was unhinged, unholy and should never see the light of day. It made a normally talkative .net programmer go silent in shock yet it is responsible for managing the project resourcing in a big department in the company... But it was quite fun and it does work...)

Honestly hard to say. Very much have respect for existing ubiquitous tools and for their copyleft and open source advocacy but they come across as very 'elitist' and reluctant to move to more common open source patterns (for better or worse). Like it seems that contributing to a GNU project seems challenging in needing to get involved with mailing lists and emailing patches etc. Although it seems GUIX uses Codeberg so maybe that stance has softened a bit.

Oh absolutely. It wasn't even close to being sparkling chaos, let alone Agile. What we had as 'sprints' would be more accurate as Epics. The whole thing was insane but they stuck with the terminology...

We had a bunch of simultaneous 'sprints' that went on for over a year...

Only worth installing if it is 🔥🔥🔥blazing⚡⚡⚡fast

I was using it and I moved away. A combination of needing to use their app instead of a normal email client, irritating number of screens and frustratingly slow loading of the webmail page and the ceo comments that could be seen as praising trump made me look at other providers. I went with malibox.org and have 0 regrets.

Ugh yeah this is a real point of annoyance for me, we have the XDG basedir spec for a reason but everything just ignores it. I'd settle for even the config part, let alone state, data dirs and the rest. Just throw it all in home...
