    Can vibecode a winamp-clone in like 5 hours & the resulting app would never try to monetize me. Of course I don’t have to because Foobar -or rather Fooyin on Linux- is better than Winamp ever were…

    That isn’t ‘coming back’. Thats ‘we have the rights to the name,so let’s launch a new program with the same name to get free clout and easy money’.
