It didn't really bother me, but I might be reading it more strongly in the context of this being a single-person job. If a project took a strongly hyped tone while also having a large amount of money backing it, I might be annoyed (heck, this isn't a hypothetical, it happens all the time from Facebook/Google/Amazon!), but this is some random individual who is trying to explain why their project has advantages, when other frameworks are mostly backed by large corporations. In that context my reaction is more, "hey, good hustle, we'll see how it pans out". Maybe it's good, maybe it's not, but if it's not, it hardly threatens me, because there's no money and little manpower behind it anyway. There are other strategies to take with a more humble tone, but I'm not really offended by this strategy, and there's a risk that a more modest strategy would result in nobody giving it a second thought even if it did have significant pros. Not that my reaction is correct or anything, just thought I'd add a subjective reply.

Sure thing. I'm not suggesting that there is anything wrong with the framework, and just because I find the tone of the blog somewhat arrogant doesn't mean that I'm offended by it; sometimes arrogance has a reasonable explanation, I just don't see that here.

> trying to explain why their project has advantages

IMO you can do that without the tacit suggestion that the competition produces unmaintanble code, or at least, explain why this framework is objectively more maintainable and not just one's particular opinion of what is maintainable.

> if a project took an arrogant tone while also having a large amount of money backing it, I might be annoyed

I'm not really annoyed either way, but in my totally subjective opinion a lone developer should take a more humble tone, it's not as if backing by a large corporation correlates with non- maintainability.
