Plus the fact that he is charging for personal support and themes/dotfiles, so the software remains the same. Archcraft does the same for Arch and no one gives a shit.

Well yes, but my point is that one can intuitively can use regular DE’s and be productive, the same is not true for window managers. Regardles if one configures or not.

In my opinion that makes Plasma and Gnome the best desktop environments, no matter how much I prefer standalone window managers.
