The comments in the HN submission must be some new record in middlebrow dismissals.

Astonishingly so, since it's actually a very good article. Only one or two (minor) flaws in a long article about a technical subject, written by a journalist, is a good tally.

I think the article did a terrible disservice to the critics: there's lots of hot air in the article but little devoted to the meat of the critics complaints. Meanwhile, Linus' simple rebuttal is given full time, and seems completely reasonable. It wasn't until I read this post that I felt that the Linux maintainers may be doing some things wrong.
