Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro Developer team has the philosophy of delivering a reliable product without bugs
In keeping with the "suckless" philosophy of the developer team that created it, the st project aims to create a reliable, lightweight terminal emulator without surprising bugs. Part of the strategy for that involves leaving out any features that can be better provided by other tools. This "suckless" philosophy holds that duplicating features across multiple tools leads to bloat and complexity that have an impact on reliability and usability.
Pro Clean
The terminal doesn't have any bloated features nobody uses. It is very minimal and extendable.
