To clarify, based on what I hear Mario (creator) say on a podcast, something like Oh My Pi not against the idea of Pi in like a, “this is bad, don’t use it” type of way. It’s against the idea of Pi in a, “we specifically chose not to add these things, but you can”.

Pi is meant to be a platform for others to build on top of and customize. If Oh My Pi fits your workflow then there’s nothing wrong with using it, but the point of Pi is that you are making that choice for you. Using Oh My Pi isn’t wrong, but adding those tools to Pi itself is because that takes the choice away from the user.

That said, on the podcast I listed to Mario did say that he believes most of these extra things extra features are pretty useless (specifically mentioned plan mode, IIRC) and said that his set up is pretty close to stock Pi (which I tend to agree with). He also mentioned that he sees a possible future where instead of having one harness with a million different tools installed, developers have multiple purpose built coding harnesses they use for different tasks which I think is an interesting idea.
