If that were true why aren't their uproars over any of these projects:

https://github.com/grosser/pru https://github.com/colinta/ned https://github.com/aljungberg/pyle https://github.com/zzak/gsub https://github.com/bjfletcher/node-js-sed

I'm sure there are more. These are just a few I could find a few minutes.

Sorry, I'm not trying to call you out here. I just have serious doubts that the criticism has anything to do with merit. In other words, I don't think it makes sense to rationalize jerky behavior :(

I dunno, did the other projects get tweeted and hit the right combination of followers? Why does anything get attention/go viral?

It's a fair question. I'm honestly confused about why this blew up in the first place.
