I had finally found a workaround to get Star Wars: Rebellion working perfectly. And not even a day later Alistair Leslie-Hughes had posted some patches to fix the bug correctly.

So don't despair about your decades old bugs. With the right conditions it can and will be fixed.

The only/main problem with Proton is that it has obviously taken away from WineHQ, so WinHQ is not nearly as useful as it used to be.

Yeah, but to be fair, it still looks and works like it did 20 years ago. A mobile stylesheet would be nice. And I bet the good folks at Protondb would be up to linking to corresponding WineHQ pages if asked nicely and vice versa.

True about the looks, but is there really any problem with that?
Of course fancy integration with Proton would be cool, but AFAIK for instance protondb doesn't say anything about the things proton does to make games work. Only if users can make it better than that.
So AFAIK a game working out of the box with Proton, does not necessarily work out of the box with Wine.
