- When they're given an open mic, they tell me their product will destroy the world.
- When I say I don't like the direction they're going, they threaten me with being left behind.

the second two - FoMO and inevitability - were huge talking points for Systemd as well. We got something that mostly replicates sys5init mostly well - spelled incomplete and not as well - and makes up for it by consuming and replicating other discrete components .. equally poorly. Like Ai, there are rabid supporters who either label us as old, dumb, unprofessional (aka No True Scot), or blind to the inevitable domination, and I'm really not sure how much else out there in this world can be as easily-proved with a "shut up, loser" argument.
