No, I wasn’t saying the thing about creating config files in the same vein as “you are holding it wrong^tm”. Any software would crap out if you manually give it wrong/empty config files - that is only reasonable. Sure, if you’re worried about the config file getting corrupted without user interference, that’s a bug. I’d also be pissed if I were the author of the project and someone complained by saying - “I deleted the config file your software uses, and I am not a fan of your software because it doesn’t magically heal itself and protect against users such as myself”.
No! Syncthing is _not_ a backup system. They explicitly say so, and it should also be obvious that a “syncing system” may try to backup some stuff, but you cannot rely on anything that can _delete_ stuff to be called a backup.
