Too often, you won't be given time to make your software understandable. Probably almost never. So you have to incorporate a way of programming that leaves your code more understandable after you fixed your bug or added your feature.
I don't know if understandability is the most important thing. However I certainly agree with the author that it's curcial, if you ever want to do more than merley a script or a proof of concept.

There's a paid Thunderbird add-on named Owl which adds Exchange support (10$/year). It's not perfect but does the job.
@Tangent5280 for context: Exchange is a custom email/collaboration suite protocoll by Microsoft. Thunderbird doesn't support that. Often, it's not really a problem, because one can enable SMTP/IMAP/POP access for their O365 accounts. However an administrator has to do that, and, for instance, my university doesn't allow that.
Oh, yeah you should. I mean I'd advice against it, but since you already know the pain of switching layouts… sure, go ahead! :D
I prefer Bone over Neo, Neo has quite broad software support though. I'm using Bone on Linux and macOS without any issues.
oh, Good luck with that. Make sure however to respect the users privacy and indexing preferences. People in the Fediverse are very privacy consious and not everyone likes their post scraped and indexed.
I'd start with the Mastodon docs, it's a solid resource to get started.
Oh wow, Exchange support! This is huge.
I use a variant of the Neo-Layout called Bone. It's an ergonomic layout optimized for German and English text. The base layer is already different (see the linked page), but I also really like it for programming, since there's an entire layer with easily accessible symbols:
While this chart certainly shows how dominant mastodon.social in the Fediverse is, I like this chart. It also shows how diverse the Fediverse is. For any other social network this graph would be a simple circle. For the Fediverse it shows 38 different servers, and apart from mastodon.social, the distribution seems quite fair.
Very good!

I can't speak for the BOOX Tab Ultra C directly, but I'm interested in opinions on it, because I'm thinking about buying one as well.
I have the BOOX Note Air though. Overall, I really like it. I use it to read books and learning material, do math exercises and occasionally to draw. I love that it's smart (full Android, download any app) and dumb (slow, grayscale, don't get distracted easily) at the same time.
Technically you can use it for browsing the web, however I wouldn't recommend it. It' too slow if you want to hop between different sites. It's only comfortable if you access a specific site to read on for a while. I hope the BOOX Tab Ultra C is faster (I mean it should), but if the web is one of your main use cases, I'd rather go for a proper tablet. Even if the ePaper screen is relatively fast, it's still too slow to be fun. Since you're already experienced using ePaper screen, I'm confident you can judge that for yourself though.
My motivation to get an upgrade is mainly the Note Air quickly slows down when drawing anything semi-complex or above. I can recommend it for reading, taking notes and (limited) drawing. For anything else, I recommend a tablet instead.
They can't possibly judge what is trivial to achieve and what's a serious, very hard problem.
