A lot of people are saying the maintainer’s reaction was over the top. I don’t think so, but I think it comes down to your perception of Issues, specifically whether you view them as an area for bug reports vs an area for discussions. Alacritty is a really popular project. It probably gets a ton of issues being opened. As a maintainer, every single issue is time you’ve got to take out from stuff you’d rather be doing. From that perspective, someone popping in to complain about the default colorscheme because it doesn’t look like their previous editor, when they can easily change the colors to be however they like, is going to be super frustrating. This is doubly true if you don’t usually view issues as a spot for general discussion. I can see that the person who posted the issue was trying to help, but honestly it’s just not very helpful. A lot of people view airing their own personal dissatisfaction with a tool as being helpful, and generally that’s not true. Edit: also just noting that alacritty has an IRC channel linked on their README for discussion of things that aren’t bugs.
