I like the idea of conventional commits, but the lack of many useful categories is a real `chore:` to where I end up making my own, which tooling of course doesn’t recognize. The codification of something called conventional commits strikes me as kind of counterintuitive anyway.
Well, they're just commonly used commit types. I don't follow the "spec" strictly and have my own conventions as well. I don't use any tooling that reads them, and I'd probably write my own if needed.
I mainly find them helpful for sticking to atomic commits. If a change doesn't align with the commit type, or it touches too many parts of the codebase, that means it should be in a separate commit.
