To be clear, I don't have a problem with Luke posting his experience, but there's a difference between reporting the news and reporting your feelings.
I think about half that article could be deleted, and it would still hold content of "why I'm leaving," but without building this huge drama oriented narrative.

As much as we can pretend that feelings aren't involved in software engineering, it will never be true, especially when relationships is the currency

You can't expect people to write in the style you want them to.
Emotions can't be just locked in a cage. They will always filter out.
It actually sounds like one of the issues with Evan, he thinks he is doing the right thing but it's just his ego talking. If he were to listen to how he feels about dealing with this issues and talking to the community Elm would be better off and this article wouldn't have happened.
BTW. I think this article could very well kill elm.
If Evan is entitled to run Elm however he wants, Luke is entitled to post whatever criticism he wants on his own blog.
If nobody ever speaks up, do you think things will actually ever get better?
