I've seen those comments, and maybe it's because I also have a low tolerance for BS in crypto but I 100% supported the remarks they made. People got a bit wrapped up in the rhetoric but the sentiment was essentially:
- crypto isn't noob-friendly, and it won't be for some time
- it's not somebody else's responsibility to do due diligence for you, and if you don't know what you're doing you shouldn't be putting your money in it
- if you don't like free, open-source software that has consistently been secure and up to date, then stop using it
I can't imagine the frustration the MEW team had built up. It's literally just 2 people, and they have built such an amazingly useful tool for all of us to use for free, yet people are constantly blaming them for their own screwups.
Disclaimer, I'm a pretty big MEW shill and my content is listed in their official help documents.
