This makes me sad. People think that open-source developers work for them and they can demand something. That's just a wtf.

@gacha @lobsters Eh. Entitled and rude people have always been there. Perhaps what's missing is support for maintainers like moderation, issue triaging and otherwise dealing with such occurrences before they become a bigger problem.

This specific case is indeed sad. But there is something else at play as well. Look at gazillion blog posts and yt videos telling how to quickly and easily setup vim, neovim, emacs etc. FOSS projects want popularity among wider demographics. Not everyone can pin plugin dependency to specific commit. So, either you keep your community very small and elitist or you adapt your practices to suit normies. I'm OK with either.

@WindOfChange @richlv @lobsters The author kept the plugin up to date with latest stable Neovim version. In the README added a notice in red on how to use it with the previous version.

I understand you can miss that, but why insult the author? Why not just ask what to do?

@gacha @richlv @lobsters To be clear - I do not justify such behaviour. Simply I am not surprised, given the general state of dumb.
I do not expect every rando following some guide on setting up nvim as IDE to go and read every plugin's README.
