Honestly, memes aside, the features navigation on amethyst isn't that bad at all.
The power demand isn't even that bad.
The actual bit is that not everyone wants so many features. And there is no option to reorganize or remove features from that navigation bar on the left.
I think most of the complaints about amethyst would be resolved if they took a page from ditto's book and allowed users to customize that bar.
How many people are really using marmot, concord, Cordn, AND NIP 29 group chats at the same time for example? The marmot fans are likely wishing they could turn off the Cordn option and vice versa.
