QB64 Delenda Est!

Firstly, thank you for the well-wishes, and secondly thank you for your considered reply.

I got the gist of the basic story from the Lunduke article (after I was scratching my head trying to find QB64 and why it had a phoenix on it here, but the one over there didn't, etc. - which is a problem for anyone coming in).

Full transparency: I am speaking to folks on the "Official" side too. 

What I am hearing is there is plenty of bad blood to go around. I am listening to both sides, and both have grievances. That is the nature of conflict. 

What I do NOT hear is how any of it helps the newcomer in any discernible way. Let me repeat: I had to HUNT for QB64. I had to contend with multiple versions and which one to pick and why and whether or not one is better, etc. 

In the end, this is what my hard drive looks like.
   

This. Is. Wrong.
I should have ONE folder.

I don't care about drama and logos and forums and Discords and all the rest of it. QB64 felt like a chunk of home and nostalgia....and now it feels like a warzone.

There has GOT to be a way to fix it. As a technician and developer, I firmly believe that nothing is so broken that it cannot be fixed. What would it take to bring the geniuses on both sides back to the same table?
