I guess what I'm trying to say is I read this comment and my thought wasn't, "Oh, I guess those problems are handled", it was, "Oh, this projects advocates have a lot of contempt for their users."

What I object to is the way our community viciously tears each other down. "This open source product is the worst thing ever! Kill it!" This crap is not productive. It's harmful.
We're up against companies who want to monopolize markets, lock us in to proprietary platforms, and own our data forever. And then when somebody finally comes along and tries to do the right thing, we attack them for not being perfect. F that noise. So, yes, I have contempt for this attitude.
(And no, I have no affiliation with the company being discussed in this article.)
I call this honest criticism. My hope is to push matrix as an open protocol, to push matrix as a slack replacement and I genuinely wish the greatest success to the element foundation.
I currently cannot say "element is awesome". Matrix as a protocol and ecosystem is awesome, but the client... I can't say that.
