But... why?

1. I like customizability. I want to configure my setup to be exactly the way I want it to look and function like. I do not want to clutter my setup with functionality that I never use. I feel like achieving this goal by starting out with a minimal setup, and extending it with the stuff you want, is a lot less difficult and messy, than stripping down a fully fledged OS like Windows, or a DE like Gnome.
2. During the past few years, I've gradually transitioned into a mostly keyboard-driven workflow. I don't want to take my hands off the keyboard, grab the mouse, and click around in some awkwardly constructed GUI to do something, if I can configure a keyboard shortcut for it.
3. I like the concept of shell scripting, but I hate the weirdness of the syntax and all the various esoteric details you have to keep in mind. Any script over 100 lines becomes unmanageable in my experience.
4. I like writing Rust
