My humble opinion:
If people want to work on a project, it is their own decision. Adoption
is the decision of higher-level developers and users. It makes
absolutely no sense to bash people developing a particular software. You
don't like it? Don't use it. You are mad because software X, you were
using, decided to depend on software Y that you hate? Fork software X,
use something else, express (politely) your disappointment to X's
developers, but why would you go hate on Y's developers?
Makes no sense.
In the open-source world, we run softwares made by millions of man-hours
for free because these motivated people liked what they were doing and
was altruist enough to share with the World.
So World, STFU.
