Sounds like a frustrated open source maintainer who has had to handhold users and perhaps isn't terribly good at it.

Does that speak to technical competence of the project? Not sure. This seems pretty mild compared to Linus Torvalds' infamous excoriations.

That said, I would hope the maintainers and devs would spend time reviewing issues to become familiar with the feedback, at a minimum.

I for one want a faster Electron, and Rust sounds like a great way to get there.



Re: Linus, at least the linux kernel works.

More seriously, you’re correct. See the new edit. Likely a good project, just doesn’t work well on M1 AFAIK, and doesn’t seem super friendly.


We can all use more compassion and empathy. Be at peace, and hopefully the developer(s) can correct course on their principles of engagement.
