Blaiz0r··on Incomplete List of Mistakes in the Design of CSS
Yes, one of the most frustrating things is reading peoples rants about how 'bad' CSS is, it's clear they don't understand it, and they think it should be easy.

Sure it's nuanced, and maybe imperfect, but I love it.

Blaiz0r··on Valve Rolls Out Wine-Based “Proton” for Running Windows Games on Linux
From the FAQs of the original post on Steam:

"Modifications to Wine are submitted upstream if they're compatible with the goals and requirements of the larger Wine project; as a result, Wine users have been benefiting from parts of this work for over a year now. The rest is available as part of our source code repository for Proton and its modules."

Wine has very tight/strict requirements for what can merged into its codebase, it's why DXVK has had to remain a standalone project because it doesn't live up to Wine's code/goal requirements.

I'm glad you and the above poster have said this, I also feel very strongly that the web has been completely trapped by coorporate interests.

I feel like the web as we know it should be abandoned to coorporations and people that want an open platform for knowledge sharing should start something new that has to stay open.

I love brunch but I can't find a community for it, what do you do when you need support on a plugin or help understanding something?

I have a few github issues open that haven't been touched in months!

You're describing exactly what is happening.

Take a look at the release list for the last year, it's sequel sequel sequel.

For the record regular Lucozade is straight glucose with no caffeine.

So yes it is sugar, but 'sugar' as in sucrose, which is glucose and fructose.

Blaiz0r··on Webpack: The Missing Tutorial
What Sort of problems did you come across with Brunch that Webpack solved for you?
Blaiz0r··on Webpack: The Missing Tutorial
They're both alternative build tools

Rollup is very similar to Webpack but is architectually different to allow it to optimise assets further and faster.

Brunch has actually been around since before Grunt, it's just not marketed. It works in very simple fashion, just install plugins via npm and start using them, no need to edit configuration files (unless you have very specific requirements).

I would consider Rollup as the new hotness, building upon the success of other tools and starting from a better position to create an optimised tool.

Brunch is a long time standing tool that does a job very well and if your project doesn't require any special configuration or architecture it's so easy to use (it can be configured though).

Blaiz0r··on Webpack: The Missing Tutorial
I hate to say it (I've enjoyed the benefits of using webpack on a few projects now) but I feel like it's all a bit too late for webpack (2).

Rollup or Brunch seem to offer a preferable alternative with speed, ease of use, and optimisation.
