I generally ignore products who's front page talks as if the person reading already knows who they are and what they do. I have no idea what this is. Clicking on the front page it says, "spaCy v3.0 is going to be a huge release! It features new transformer-based pipelines that get spaCy’s accuracy right up to the current state-of-the-art"

What the heck does that mean? What is spaCy first of all.

This just tells me they're not to be taken seriously.

Tone down the entitlement and the attitude, and think about what the linked article is exactly. It's a bunch of release notes for the 3.0 version.

If I click back to the actual homepage[0], it says:

spaCy is a free, open-source library for advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python. It’s designed specifically for production use and helps you build applications that process and “understand” large volumes of text. It can be used to build information extraction or natural language understanding systems, or to pre-process text for deep learning.

Not sure what front page you are looking at. First thing it says on spacy.io is

Industrial-Strength Natural Language Processing in Python

Followed by some decent descriptions and code examples.
