I haven't read to far into this but the issue is completely devoid of contributors and maintainers. I find the wording of the issue quite concerning:
This is free software, they don't owe you anything and this kind of language sounds angry and entitled. You can't just Gordon Ramsay on someone else's codebase.
Actually you can and should Gordon Ramsey all over it. It is the duty of audience members to express how they feel honestly about the artwork.
Open Source can and do understand that and open source software becomes better for it.
I’m not saying don’t criticise it. It’s about communication. The language isn’t very good. See my other comments
Yes, that's users for you. A diverse bunch and many lacking in basic politeness. But you just have to listen to whiney users. You just have to... and figure it out if you want to make world class software.
