The amount of FUD and vitriol displayed by some circles for a small and non-intrusive optional feature is insane. This is especially evident in the issue tracker. The response is more vicious than Windows shoving AI in the start menu, and it's baffling.

I have no use for the feature, I can write shell commands on my own. But why in the world would I go berating the developer over this? Why would anyone? iTerm2 is a gift that users owe him for, not the other way around.

I see this in some open source communities. Is this kind of thing normal?
