Bruh, u trollin
Why would he be trolling? Nowadays when hotswap PCBs are actually well made the only argument against hot-swap on the average Joe's user end is "soldering is fun" (and maybe the extra cost that could potentially incur if we're trying to be pedantic). I don't mind soldering, certain boards I would rather not hot-swap, but it the reality is lots of people could not give less of a ****. Most people won't be upset that their ISO left shift ANSI layout with f13 and stepped caps lock is not supported in the hotswap configuration. You need to waste your time and money looking for proper solder, you need to know which one to pick, you need to invest in a decent iron (especially if you're new, which whether we like it or not is the norm nowadays especially outside of Geekhack), if you mess up you need to go and look up how to do that and again, purchase the necessary equipment, you need to procure a fan so that you don't die from lead poisoning and then sit down for however long and melt **** onto your PCB for like two hours. Best hope that spacebar isn't rattling after you're done!
People can say it's exciting, as the designer has here, and it's their project so that is more than fair enough and it is their prerogative whether or not to supply an extra hot-swap PCB for those that want it, but the vehement defence of soldering is often ridiculous and, at best, outdated. Let's stop pretending horseback riding is more functional than owning a car just because some people find equestrianism fun.
