I installed it . But for me I’m used to things looking like macOS native so I was very confused about it and eventually uninstalled and returned to coteditor , I know it’s a awesome project and windows users will enjoy it

I also hope they recognize power users it’s very limited customization they offer unlike Linux and windows . The only thing holding them back is their software . If they could try make games compatible or introduce more customization options and more options other than Xcode for swift it would be the most amazing OS

I agree , but I only need a page dedicated to release history to see how frequently the app is updated and so I can trust it for the future

No , boring notch is a Dynamic Island like utility and it also hasn’t been updated since November , I suggest you to try out atoll which is a fork of it and pretty great .

There are MORE apps that have a better reputation like sidebar , dock fix , active dock (has been around for years and years) , and a subscription does not make sense since most can be done for free like window previews with dock door , group windows by app is free in desktop and dock settings for Mission Control , the native dock can also do many things like notification badges, click to show desktop or use a hot corner or trackpad gesture , pin apps in the dock , there are a billion app launchers , spotlight is built in . Most people will stay away from subscriptions as I have observed in the comment below (Pls be nice I’m new here and I don’t know how to comment properly )

No it does not require disbaling SIP and it is inspired by i3 though I have never used i3 and it has customizable keybindings , you can also use karabiner to bind keys for it.
