  People have been lying to the teeth to justify bullying the dev, but come on. iTerm2 is free of charge libre software. It doesn't make a living. Lies are lies. Lies about how this feature exfiltrates data without you knowing isn't genuine criticism either. If you didn't like the feature, you could've done what the rest of us did and not use it. It's simple. We just carried on with our work just like we did before the update. Well, actually not exactly the same as before because we enjoyed the UI improvement that came with the update. We certainly didn't go out of our way to enable features that didn't personally interest us. Nor did we brigade the issue tracker to go on a bullying spree or posted lies after lies in public forums. iTerm2 is a breath of fresh air compared to all the commercial crap prevalent in our industry nowadays. Trolls may have done immeasurable damage to the future of a valuable piece of software. Too bad they're not the type to take any responsibility for such actions.

    What do you mean "It doesn't make a living."? From what I can tell, his full time job is working on iTerm2. Are you saying that's not true? I didn't like the feature, so I switched to another terminal emulator. I'm not upset and I didn't bully the dev. I wasn't a paying customer so I don't expect anyone to listen to me. I just found another product that suits the way I work much better, so I'm happy all round.
