abdelfattah How often have you thought to yourself after you have created something "Thank you for being really nasty about this, this helped me more than constructive criticism"?
The current changes are only live a few days - how did "being nice" get ignored, when they didn't even have time to react? I've not once in my life experienced a problem that was solved by being nasty - except for people being angry and needing a valve to vent their anger without thinking about there being a human being at the other end.

the5ilence 1. Consider the possibility that I'm not actually being nasty. 2. When I've screwed up like this, and received genuinely nasty feedback: real put down, personal insult kind of stuff, I appreciated it. I was still angry at the person for being nasty, but it was up front and did not mince words. I grew.

 

The people who post feedback for Dev or Canary builds are likely the "tech savvy" people that helped convince a ton of other people "Edge isn't so bad, you should check it out."

 

I won't be doing any of that if it's bloated and invasive out of the box. An undisable-able, unremovable "feature" that immediately and instantly sends telemetry when you accidentally hover over it is worthy of outrage. Especially if it's so poorly implemented as to crash your browser if you close a tab with it still open.

 

Extra whitespace/padding isn't universally worthy of outrage, but I'll still complain about it.
