Yeah on one hand, a lot of successful & high quality software projects are the result of one very dedicated brain, so maybe it's a valid tradeoff to have an arrogant dictator.
On the other hand, that does not feel so nice as a contribution environment, it creates a software design bottleneck on one person, increasing shipping time and creating a dangerous bus factor. It's not a really scalable way do software design. Overall that attitude is pretty detrimental to community as he basically complains about all previous contributors.
Maybe I'd suggest him to:
- Work on his attitude, respect other contributors & stop calling them names.
- Spend less time developing and more time educating other people who work on the project.
- Come up with a set of design principles that the rest of the project can follow.
But yeah that's open source, he's free to fork a project. Probably his project will be successful anyway despite the negativity.
