Ah, I've gotten very lucky with this. I (in EU) have been able to find a US company paying California wages in Europe so I've gotten a +50℅ pay rise which has been pretty life changing.
I absolutely adore foot. I find its got all the features I actually want and use and nothing more. Its also easy to build and package. The only problem I have with it is when I'm using xorg I can't have it :(
