This is why no-one in the right mind uses Sylpheed, but the actively maintained fork Claws Mail (which just recently had a new version released).

Navigating a combination of the distro’s native package manager (apt, pacman, rpm, whatever), snap, flatpack and still having to set up the maintainers’ custom repositories to get stuff that’s even remotely up-to-date somehow
This sounds like a you problem, to be honest. If you want the most up-to-date software, just use a distribution that updates very often or uses a rolling-release concept.
The different UI toolkits, desktop environment, window manager and compositor seem to be fighting each other.
If you use one of them, not that much. If you start mixing them it becomes a huge mess. At one point in time I had Ubuntu installed, running Gnome, but having Openbox as window manager set. It was an absolute mess. Nowadays I think it’s even more of a mess, especially with gnome and this stupid Adwaita library with the stupid CSM.
But I happily ran pure Openbox on X11 for a decade and run labwc on Wayland since ca. 2 years now.
I do a lot of .NET programming and photo editing. I could probably replace VS with VScode or Ryder but it’s an additional hurdle. For photo editing, I haven’t found a single thing that fits my workflow the way Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop do.
Then stick with Windows. Or run this software in VM with GPU pass-through and KVM. I really don’t see an issue here. Use the tool that best fits your needs.

I wonder where they got this from. The 2.x branch was first released 21 years ago.
Which wasn’t a point in your original post, though.
Yeah, then I have no idea. I can tolerate Smart Launcher not being open source, because of how good it is.
Maybe have a look at Smart Launcher.
Even if you ignore the recent few fuck-ups Mozilla did: It does.
It sucks less than other non-Chromium browsers, though.
Thunderbird is the only Mozilla product that doesn’t suck!
K-9 mail was awesome!
So, LibreOffice can be used over the Internet in a web browser?
0·1 year agoFor the same reason a lot of programming languages can’t calculate 0.1+0.2 properly.
There’s a website explaining it: https://0.30000000000000004.com/
Edge cases are not the norm, though.
