I don't know if that statement was meant at my reply, but I was not complaining, simply adding to how is not up to par with 2019 standards is a valid (under)statement for most of the GS-related stuff. When I suggested full rewrite, I meant keep the core concepts and UI, but remove code practices that are frowned upon in the PHP community since years (globals, constants, mixed data-presentation) and stand on the shoulders of giants (well-tested & documented open-source libraries) to move forward.
Also, although not nearly as much as many others, I've contributed a fair share to the GS ecosystem (plugins, documentation, translations, testing, feedback), and that's all the more why I respect shawn_a's work and commitment to the project because I can't put in so much time & effort.
If I would /do ever get the time, I would develop a GetSimple-inspired CMS. But for now, I'll have to keep to maintaining Components Extended & fixing critical bugs in GS Custom Settings. @shawn_a, I'm also interested in helping migrate the website/ add-ons repo to a Github/ Github-pages-based system.
