This post is 30% technical, 70% politics.

Essentially, the author is upset that the author of rbenv[0] decided to criticize rvm instead of opening tickets and whatnot.

The author then goes on to blame the rbenv author for the year long delay in implementing PROMPT_COMMAND in rvm.

> We could have this code available for rvm users one year ago, possibly we could have a lot more of good solutions if the problems were discussed instead of throwing accusations as it was done by rbenv author.

It makes sense to raise the issue before blaming about it. That's what Open Source is supposed to be.
There comes a point where you think "I disagree with so many of the design decisions this project took that I don't have the energy to chase up every last consequence." Well before that point it becomes reasonable to kick off another project to flesh out your own ideas. Competition is good.
Probably why it's titled "A story…"
