I was experimenting with it this week as well, and that exact issue was what had me uninstall it. I guess this post doesn't add much value, but I thought the (synchronicity?) Of our experiences was interesting.

It's a curious hill to die on, so to speak.

I imagine they would probably say the same thing to you.

You're really not willing to use an excellent piece of software because one time you saw a dev dismiss someone who didn't like the default color scheme? How is that not even more petty?

Hey, vote with your wallet. A lot of people here on HN go out of their way to avoid products from companies that they view as poisonous, this is no different really.

You mean products with closed source, made by people who cannot be trusted? Yes, I think it's different. How many people here refuse to run Linux because they don't like the way Linus talks on the mailing lists?

poisonous, toxic, abuse....

You sure aren't running out of creative synonyms to make drama over a pretty insignificant incident.
