I have also been using it for years, and during that time, it has become quite reliable.
It definitely has its quirks, but no showstoppers any more I think.
Having made small code contributions, I can also say that the process and experience were good, in my opinion. As someone who tends to get tangled up in websites with their accounts, forks, access tokens, SSH keys, and whatnot, making me lose motivation to contribute something I’ve already made and tested, it’s a relief when I can just do git send-email, and be done with it.
Aerc is great, I’ve been using it for years. With a shortcut that opens an email in a web browser if it lacks a plaintext component, I don’t think I miss any functionality
oh excellent, I hadn’t heard of this and very much want to try it. Thunderbird works well for me and solves my actual needs, but I have been wanting something terminal-based for a few years. alas, alpine doesn’t have an option to save oauth credentials across boots, and elm’s descendants are no longer maintained…

Sorry for the delay!
