I have no quarrel with the author writing a blog post about his opinions. Also, every open source project has its complainers (paradoxically, the less money people pay, the louder they complain). No open source project survives longer than a year or two without learning to separate the signal from the noise, and tune out the outliers.
What does put me off though, is the trend toward "clickbait" headlines even for personal blogs.
"Why I'm Leaving X"
"X Considered Harmful"
"Farewell to X"
"Why I Do Not Like X"
I guess you just have to do this in 2017, if you want to get anyone to click your links and read your stuff. But the web feels dumber for it.
