73- Kele differs fundamentally in its architecture and design philosophy. Rather than wrapping ` kubectl `
74- commands, Kele communicates directly with the Kubernetes API via HTTP using ephemeral proxy

69+ Functionally, there is considerable overlap in functionality between Kele and [ Kubed] . I highly
70+ encourage you to try both out and see which fits your workflow best! The differences between the two
71+ packages lie primarily in architecture and design.
72+
73+ One of the biggest differences between Kele and Kubed is that the latter ** avoids 3rd-party
74+ dependencies** . This makes it that much more feasible to add Kubed to core Emacs in the future, if
75+ desired. In general, Kubed aims to "make the most" out of core Emacs integrations. For users that
76+ would like to minimize the number of transitive package dependencies they introduce to their
77+ workflow, this aspect of Kubed can be appealing.
78+
79+ Conversely, Kele takes considerable liberty with its use of 3rd-party packages in the name of
80+ providing extended functionality. For example, Kele leveragess
81+ [ ` plz.el ` ] ( https://github.com/alphapapa/plz.el/ ) heavily in its direct communication with the
82+ Kubernetes API via HTTP using ephemeral proxy processes. This approach differs considerably from the
83+ other packages in this list, which by and large tend to rely on invoking the ` kubectl ` CLI in
84+ sub-processes and parsing the resulting shell output. We believe that the HTTP-API-based approach is
85+ not only more robust, but also allows for greater flexibility in the Emacs layer as a result. For
86+ example, this proxy-based architecture enables its universal support for custom resources from day
87+ one, treating them identically to core resources through generic implementation patterns.
88+
89+ Similarly, Kele's dynamic permissions detection allows it to gracefully adapt functionality based on
8190cluster-reported permissions, making it suitable for users with restricted cluster access while
8291maintaining its "piecemeal" philosophy of quickly retrieving targeted information with minimal
8392context-switching. Conversely, Kubed is based around "binding" package functionality to resources
