I've found attitudes like this to be the worst parts of the community.
Maybe it's quite nice because of how they've approached building it? I've been actively watching Helix for quite a while now, and I've observed as hostile those who approach the project are.
From what I've seen, they do listen to feedback. Perhaps similar to the person who said it had stalled, people take not saying yes as not listening to feedback?
Yeah, I think people turning up with an attitude of entitlement or a presumption that something should be a priority for the project summons at least resistance, if not hostility. I’ve never seen anything from the project that I’d call hostile, if anything, I’ve seen patience.
For that reason, I’m glad adoption is a non-goal [0] as it allows for the explicit exclusion of popular demand and copying other “successful” projects as criteria for decision making.
[0] I wish many more projects and companies would follow suit! Something well crafted to be loved by a small, committed, and sophisticated user base/audience is, almost without fail, so much more valuable and special than something designed for mass appeal (or evolves towards it once someone smells a juicy exit). Sadly, that’s not often where the incentives lie.
