Obvious trolling should receive no response. This kind of noise belongs to
Reddit and similar communities, where it is commonplace.
Most of what's to be said in "defense" of st and other suckless software is
already out there on suckless.org, including the sorry state of XTerm being the
driving idea behind writing st, which the OP turned upside-down, so that's one
more reason against responding, and enough to see it's trolling.
