Well I would never write shell because I loathe it's grammar/syntax. I enjoy GUIs and am a heavy mouse user, so the GTK part isn't really an "accidental complexity" but a must have for me. If a LLM can one-shot all the GTK boilerplate it's a win.
That's (as shown in my sample prompt) one great thing I've been using LLMs for: making GUIs for arcane Linux-based OS/userland settings that I have no interest in doing "sudo gedit yadda yadda" or learning man pages for. It's been 30+ years, we deserve a better desktop experience.
I've used suckless packages in the past, but it feels to me too close the GNOME/Apple way of giving zero settings and having opinionated defaults whose opinions do not ring well for me. I have zero desire to change my shortcuts/hotkeys to something random devs chose based on their past computer experience, mostly unix-based. Muscle memory > *.
