I'm making generalizations based on their statements -- the stats and anecdotal evidence tells us things about how the community at large.

Can you link that comment? I think you've gotten me confused with someone else -- I'm a very active member of the Elm community and write Elm as part of my day job and have done for over 2.5 years.
I'm not really making assumptions about their use, but more rather commenting on the feeling of the community as a whole. I basis this on my deep involvement and the stats that we have to hand. I know that Elm format is not considered an issue by a large majority of Elm users. In fact, I can only thing of a couple of people who dislike it. So while they might personally use Elm and dislike it, it is not representative of the community -- it's important not to spread FUD, as comments on HN often tend to. The people who are most vocal about elm-format being negative are those who have not actually used it outside of short trials.
