I literally just started learning Elm this week and then I find there's all this drama and baggage to consider.
It's seems like 0.18 to 0.19 was a divisive upgrade for the community. I feel like a lot of good languages or frameworks go through this existential crisis at some point. There was Python 2 to 3, or Angular 1 to 2, Node vs IO, etc.. I think Vue narrowly avoided it on it way towards 3.0 (maybe remains to be seen). I remember when Rails community split when Yehuda Katz got frustrated with DHH and made Merb, and then they merged back together for Rails 3.
It seems like open source has a love/hate relationship with the benevolent dictatorship model.
