I don't see hate for the project here. I see criticism for the way they're trying to position it as easier than jq when it's just different than jq. It looks like a cool project on its own and doesn't need to describe jq as confusing to make that point.

But it is easier, for them. Easier, as a universal claim, is hard to establish - you'd need to do user studies. Easier in the author's opinion is normal usage, and their opinion is as good as anyone else's. They gave a reasonable justification. I kind of think you'd need to use both tools to have an informed opinion about which you think is easier. But most of us aren't going to do that, which is fine. I think having strong opinions about which is easier without trying them both is weird, though.
