I'm certainly glad that given a bit of time, cooler heads have prevailed. I completely understand the shear frustration one must endure when managing any open source library/framework. There is a huge sense of entitlement among consumers... but this should not translate to any responsibility on the part of the author. Throughout this process, I've seen comments about how simply forking the repo would be considered hostile... yet, I always felt that was part of the beauty of open source. Use what is available, and "stand on the shoulders of giants" when you wish to see something go in a different direction. Instead of viewing it as, "what you built is terrible, here, let me fix that for you". We should strive to see it as a tree that has much potential, some branches may be more favored. Some may collapse. Alliances may be formed. But it's all in the name of building cool stuff. I get how some may consider that nothing would ever get finished using that model... but, therein is again, the beauty of open source. If someone wants to "finish" something, they are free to do so.
