That's exactly where I stand too. I spent many days writing very custom code for my house that I have 0 interest rewriting in another language. That said, it's also true that mh is a bit of a dying project and there are newer alternatives with other programming languages and fancier UIs. I'd say that it's fine to have them side by side. New users will use newer projects, and honestly that's fine. No one is paid to work on MH, and if it slowly dies out over time, there is nothing really wrong with that as long as it keeps working for its existing users who aren't interested in switching to new projects.
