I completely get what you’re saying - but this is not an /amateur/ release? Clearly the author cares a lot about design, has put together a blog and repo, launched the theme for obsidian and iterm, etc

I wasn't talking about the criticisms themselves, heck, I agree with them. I was more referring to the fact someone felt entitled to a good user experience they got angry.
Perhaps I'm being oversensitive on behalf of the guy who put effort into releasing this. But this isn't isolated, often people get punished for putting something out there that does not have a certain level of polish, I think that's totally counterproductive.
