This heap of _shit_ software serves two primary purposes

1. Making bad developers feel good about their terrible development skills by letting them jerk-off their terminal theme instead of doing any real actual work, and

2. Contributes to global warming by chewing through world-wide power in levels that are completely unnecessary and should be avoided at all costs.

I would rather _gouge my eyes out with a blunt spoon_ than install, support or promote THIS BULLSHIT to any person on this earth. Even Augusto Pinochet wouldn't have his prisoners feel the pain of Hyper, and that's really saying something.

Wow, talk about someone I wouldn't want to work with...

Regardless of whether or not the app makes sense or should be used, (I am not a fan of it), the rhetoric you are using is childish and immature. You can voice dislike without being an asshole about it.

Well, this is odd. I agree with him, and I really do not care about the way he expressed his opinion to the point that I would work with him more than people who think that an Electron-based terminal is a good idea. If I have to choose between the two, I would choose the former. We are different, I suppose, which is OK.

I imagine that at one point there were people that didn't want to work with people who thought that garbage collection was a good idea. Or IDEs. Or high-level languages.

Sure. I wish I could work with hardcore C programmers. :D

Voicing dislike with brutal honesty is far more effective. And it's the truth. Why should the truth be watered down? Just to make a few sensitive people feel better? That's not reality. As far as I'm concerned, that is fraud.

> Voicing dislike with brutal honesty is far more effective

then your way of voicing it is not brutal honesty, because you are most definitely not being effective, the only thing you are going to accomplish is putting whoever you are talking to on the defensive and now you lost your opportunity of convincing them. Or maybe brutal honesty is not that effective, you choose which one of the 2

You can say the truth of the matter without being brutal. You are trying to tear down someone that contributes to open source, and whether or you not like it, people out there do or they wouldn't still be developing it.

And contrary to what you seem to think, if you don't like the product don't use it, and better yet don't comment on it as you aren't helping anyone.

What's fraud is that you represented your opinions in such a tremendously ineffective way that none of us can read them now, and you are acting like you blessed the world. Nobody even knows what your opinion was, I hope you're happy.
