Your last line was very dismissive, and the first ones were a minor detail. If you had just said it as a helpful suggestion to improve compatibility, it would have been fine. Had you dismissed it because of something fundamental to the project's goals, it would probably have been fine. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: > Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. I can see someone interpreting your argument as "shallow," at least in the sense that the project overall may still be useful. Or it might be a good start, or they need your help to improve. Also: > Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. (And I say this as someone who, just this week, forgot to change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash when I started adding Bash-specifics to a script.)
