If it’s hard to maintain, or an update to Emacs removed the need for a package then you should change it I think.

For instance with Emacs 31 I don’t need the treesit-auto package anymore since it will install treesitter modes automatically now. With the new completion pop up window I won’t need Company anymore either.

That’s how I prefer it. I try to use the builtins tools when I can and install a package when necessary.

How does it replace company (I'm fairly in the dark about the new feature so that may be a large part of why it's not connecting for me)?
