> Frankly Elm has more of a problem with negative fanboying: people who have decided it’s not for them yet have to constantly show up to neener neener every time Elm appears on HN instead of just moving on.

Don’t forget those of us who worked at companies that tried adopting Elm and then got burned by it. Some of the changes were show-stoppers if you were actually using it in a way they didn’t like.

I don’t understand this desire to downplay and dismiss the critics as not having valid points. This is a textbook case of an open source project making some weird decisions, then grinding to a halt. It’s so weird to see people rush in to defend everything about it rather than admitting that, yeah, it kind of fizzled out and they didn’t really listen to the community and it came back to bite them.
