One cut among many. Another was the insistence of Evan to cut out escape hatches and insist that everything be done solely through Elm. It is not just one person, the entire community was part of the problem, in one way or another. I don't think about Elm much anymore but what I do think of it does not inspire confidence at its creators' future endeavors. Of course, if people want to use it, by all means, but being burned once, not just technologically but also financially, I would not want to be burned once more.
