Get offa my lawn, damn punk kids!
But seriously, I'm glad to have been a part of this community since back when everything was still a new frontier. We helped forge the tools for the new generation to use and to improve upon. There are so many more options available to creators and consumers now, and we made that happen by demonstrating a demand for them. Gone are the days when every new keyset was a DCS-profile set from SP, that had to be purchased in a one-time-only group buy. There are actually storefonts which stock keycap sets and keyboard parts. There exist tools now to design and create your own custom layouts. And the market is full of artisans who make every sort of keycap imaginable.
The early days were fun, but rough, and I do have nostalgia for them. But the hobby as advanced so much in only a short time!
