Well thanks then! I know social media sucks for this kind of stuff. And I am sorry for my contribution to that. And know we really all do appreciate it, we are just passionate and opinionated people.
Personally I am more concerned about keeping my team building cool features than updating react. This has led to us having two distinctly non-interoperable code bases, one with react 0.12 and one with react 14-15. This makes me worried that now we will have a third with react >15.
I think we can all agree that many of the ideas, while not new, were revolutionary to front-end web developers. And that is what I love about working in this stack. But other than these ideas, the projects themselves are just stumbling along trying to catch up with some perceived "modern" way of coding, and it is the dev teams and projects that suffer.
EDIT: I should add, that I didn't want to say that I completely disagree with the change to remvoe this api entirely on twitter to the maintainers. I am sure they get enough crap from people.
