What's up with -5 downvotes? I don't see anything particularly bad in the article.

"send a patch via mail" process.
I don't see a problem with it. I don't know what tools you use, but the current process certainly isn't ancient. Even if I use GitHub or something else, I still highly depend on my e-mail to actually know somebody published a patch and if I am supposed to review it. I don't have to use a GUI coupled with shitty UI decisions. E-mails are very simple in their own way and I don't find it ancient or bad.

Yes, I like text more than visual icons. More proof is given by the fact that I used words like cpu, mem, net over the thousands of icons I could've used instead, considering that the font I am using is a Nerd Font patched one.
I use JetBrains Mono font. I am not sure what you meant by font rendering, so if you're interested, you can check my dotfiles.
I experienced this too. That's why I stopped asking them anything after my first query (why my keybindings were not working when defined in another file) and relied on guess work. I also found the community kind of dead, so you don't actually get the answers quicker than the guess work will get you there.
I had to look through the source code of their widgets (like wibox.widget.textclock, awful.titlebar.widget.maximizedbutton) they use in their default config file to have a grasp of what's happening. Looking through others' dotfiles was more pain because it's not supposed to be looked upon by the beginners, so they cram all they know in a few lines and leave you guessing.
You are correct.

I am not really into shells, so my experience is very novice when it comes to shell scripting, but I'll let you know that I went from bash to zsh, and then I also tried fish but went back to zsh because I felt that it was superior. Generally I find zsh to be little easier than Bash, but bash isn't bad in itself too. I disliked having to learn new syntax for basic shell scripting for fish the most I think.
Syncthing and Spotdl. Syncthing can sync folders over a network. Spotdl can download content from a playlist; it is multi-threaded and skips already existing or duplicate songs. It took me 20 minutes to automate everything. Syncthing and Spotdl start on startup and do their thing every 10 minutes.
