If “criticism is necessary to move the project forward” then how can it be that
“all of this mailing list complaining doesn’t really amount to anything”? I
think your last part is quite right (that criticism, especially the “you suck”
variety, is par for the course) but the first part paints all speakers with a
broad reactionary brush.

P.S: Personally, I appreciate the philosophy outlined in the first part of
Isaac’s message and what I know/see of the history of Node (through my novice
eyes). I wish require.paths had not been removed and that certain aspects of
npm/node_modules structure were different (both of which I have wrapped
around), but those are minor issues, and I have no complaints.
