    Every major update has broken something or fundamentally changed my workflow to such a degree that I no longer feel I understand the program. I currently use it in a semi-automated setup and I’ll likely have my package manager ignore its upgrades in the future barring total breakage of the package. Note: I’m not saying the program is bad, it’s just not something I’m interested in constantly tweaking/relearning if a future update is just going to break it.

    I just learned about Ansel, which is a fork by someone who did a ton of work for DT but was ultimately too opinionated and got the boot. Apparently it’s way more streamlined and easier to work with. YMMV.

    I’ve also heard about vkdt, which is very early, but still something to look at.

      If something is broken, please file a bug report on github. AFAIK you should be able to work however you please, using any modules that are available, dating back almost to program inception.

      The defaults change, but if you have a workflow dialed in, make a style and have at it.

      The author of Ansel did not “get the boot,” he left on his own accord. That is for the better, he is so toxic it was effecting the project.
