I agree, but when it comes to the Pi defaults. I’ve spent a good deal of time (admittedly via vibe coding) writing extensions that completely alter the look/feel as well as functionality of Pi.

I view Pi as similar to NeoVim, both programs have kinda crappy defaults that nobody should really use but are incredibly extensible and customizable for power users willing to invest their time into them.

Interesting comparision with NeoVim, given that it was basically created to provide a better default (config) experience than classic vim. We might be close to PostNeoVim (or is helix [0] already that?).
