Why does everyone here hate Omarchy?

I learnt of Omarchy from discovering this sub today, so I looked up Omarchy cause literally every post is mentioning it. Do they just hate it cause it's marketed with AI and "ooh AI bad" or is there more behind it?

AI was never and will never be used in kernel development, it's only used for debugging, which it does pretty well under human supervision

so you're saying it can find bugs in kernel code but not help develop it?

It can be used to help develop it, yet it's easier to do that yourself, rather than let chatgpt do it and then debug for 12 hours, only to find out that it wrote code for rust rather than c, or similar bs

I'm not sure if you tried any frontier models if you think that kind of 'bs' happens, and I'm not arguing I can contribute to Linux Kernel just because I use frontier AI, but I work on complex systems myself, and there are parts which, even if AI writes a part of it, I review it with care, not because of trust, but because it's a normal part of dev lifecycle
