Here comes a melt from an anon that rarely melts.
If the anam devs are /here/ while ego searching for the reaction to their complete ghosting, I want to put this out;
Kinda based. Second only to those not interacting with this scuffle in the first place, who are the real players. A small assumption on my part, but you (the devs) likely saw this, internalized why people use your program, and instead of whining about it like one dev in the community, put your money where your mouth is, said "Fuck this, I'm out" and hit the bricks.
That's the lesson devs should take here. If you don't want to support how we use your program, then DON'T. Leave. Work on something else, for our sake and yours. If you do want to continue working on a project, especially one that is publicly used, understand the use cases for what you are making, what the end users are using your project for, and develop FOR that! And if you want to make a program that's entire for practice, and you don't want others to find uses for it, then KEEP THAT SHIT PRIVATE. Don't make it public and go "ooh this is for practice you know~" without expecting people to use that program to the fullest.
We don't deserve a developer who frankensteins their project's spirit away in the name of morals, and you don't deserve to work on projects you don't like just because you are "expected" to continue working on them. If you don't give the end users respect, don't expect the same respect in return; and we should all strive to be moderately respectful for eachother, even as anonymous/pennamed shitbags, right?
