> I meant political in the more modern sense of "appealing to emotion rather than thought".

I'm not familiar with this definition in any modern or archaic sense. Is there somewhere I can read about it? Just because a decision is not directly engineering related (which I'm not even convinced this is) doesn't mean that it's not thoughtful.

That's fair - I updated my comment a little. What I mean is that the decision was driven by an ideological basis, not an empirical one. Bun was written with AI, AI doesn't fit with my ideology, therefore I reject it. As opposed to Bun has these new problems X Y and Z, therefore I reject it.

The irony of this comment on an app that is:

- free and open source, which is an ideology, and that

- expands access to otherwise locked down media, which is again an ideological stance

"Political" here means "I don't like it"
