I've read a lot of the comments, and I don't think "relentlessly attacked" is the phrase I'd use. _Some_ folks were fairly uncharitable, but most from what I saw were flummoxed by the fact that they were mislead, and (rightfully IMO) pointed that out. Believe it or not, the combination of being blatantly mislead, open source and lots of attention on HN sites and the like, doesn't actually happen that often from what I can see. So I guess it's "strange" in the sense that's it's rare, but it totally makes sense to me. As I said, it's one thing to promise something and fail to deliver. It's another to state something as if it were true, when it's actually not. Also, clickbait titles are not even remotely in the same category as what the V author did. It's generally socially acceptable to take a creative license with titles. It's not acceptable to take creative license with precise claims about a technical project. And frankly, people (annoyingly) whine about clickbait titles all the time.
