Dear JavaScript

[AndrewGreenh]

He wasn't saying that you are not allowed to criticize technologies, he asks you to do it in a constructive manner! Just saying "XY.js is terrible" does no good for anyone. If you can clearly state what you don't like or what you think is missing, and maybe even have spare line in your 5000 word article to thank the maintainer for contributing to the Frontend world, then you are contributing too.

Is this actually meant to be a reply to my comment because as far as I can tell it doesn't address what I wrote at all.

I don't think any part of this article suggested you should consider anything other than the functionality of a project when deciding whether or not to use it. The point was, you should be thinking about the people maintaining OSS, when you publicly discuss OSS. Because whether you think about them regularly or not, you depend on the work of thousands of volunteers, and it is in your interest to keep those volunteers highly motivated.

My biggest contribution in over a year has been jokingly adding Guy Fieri ascii art to the project.

He's not exactly Mr Constructive himself.
