Yeah, I see this FUD being spread around reddit too. I think what it all boils down to is that DCG is slowly becoming a huge conglomerate that is beginning to use propaganda to service selfish agendas. Steemit is a well thought out and powerfully executed functional crypto-currency. Not to discount others in the market, but it by far has the best use in any application I've seen that utilizes crypto-currency on a functional and streamlined level. Even in this Beta format, it far surpasses competitors in the crypto world, and in my opinion the social media market in general. TL;DR: DCG is so jealous of the growing popularity and functionality of Steem that it has now resorted to bashing Devs as an attempt to stop the inevitable mass adoption of steemit.
