I wished more people would take issue with developers' bad attitudes.

I know this is an extremely unpopular take, but I refuse to use software where the main dev(s) are openly abusive to others. Sadly this includes the majority of open source operating systems and many other very popular applications... but it's my decision and you're welcome to disagree with me. I am not trying to prevent others from using said software, and I don't look down on them for it.

I think if everyone was always forced to separate the art from the artist, then boycotting wouldn't even be a thing, so there should probably be some kind of middle ground.

There was no abuse and bad attitude. He was telling the truth about Linux hypervisors. And it got worse since then. Then they talked Xen, which at least has a security boundary. Now everybody switched to kvm with none. Only speed matters, security not at all.

Disagree, but regardless, both Theo and Linus have long, storied histories of prolonged habitual abuse without much remorse. Even after Linus "stepped back", it never really stopped after he came back.

We'll probably also disagree on what is abuse or not, but that's ok.
