While I'm not unsympathetic to your point, try to see things from
Manu's position. Every time I've seen him bring up an issue that
he has experienced in reality, he's been told, variously:
a) You're doing it wrong
b) Your problem isn't real
c) Your use case doesn't exist
d) We don't need theoretical solutions
e) The things you want are niche and pointless
...and so on.
Despite this, he's persisted in trying to raise awareness and
support for close-to-the-metal performance and control for
_years_. And then this thread happens after he was burned (yet
again!) by the tooling and the "foolish" expectation that things
would work as advertised in a situation where he lost face with
his peers.
Can you really blame him for being frustrated?
