slbtty··on KDE for Developers
> I think Kate definitely need language servers support

Kate has LSP support for a few years already.

slbtty··on Open Source and Saying “No”
Doing exactly the opposite is also a right approach:

Absorb as many features as possible, so that more people will be gravitated into a centralized place. For bugs, if the original feature submitter isn't around, potential new maintainers will emerge and fix them.

slbtty··on Zotero 7 for Developers
Jabref, which use .bib file as storage. The importing features are almost the same (all major sources supported). Tagging and note taking are nice. Full text search is implemented with the mighty lucene. Word plugin and Browser import plugin are good too.

Both zotero and jabref are on similar level of simplicity. However, they are very different on details if you use them heavily.

slbtty··on Dotfile madness (2019)
The $HOME in unix is a user data storage location

A lot of data is managed by software and by convection there is a dot before them

Unmanaged/Arbitrary data like random pictures or notes are personal and should end up in $HOME/personal

git repos are special managed data, thus they all end up in $HOME/sources

$HOME is supposed to let software to create their data folder and optimally without the dot

The data here includes config (which is read & write like data file)

$HOME/.config or XDG spec is monkey patch that do the wrong thing.

GUI file manager should open $HOME/personal as initial location

Terminal should open $HOME to let user access software's data file with shorter path (aka without .config/ )

You don't know if i am mad or being brilliant or simply brain dead, but i am making perfect scene.

slbtty··on Dotfile madness (2019)
The solution is simple, stop messing your home and put personal data in

/home/you/personal/

source code in

/home/you/src/

The home is not a place supposed to store random "regular files"
