If you want an alternative view, I like the confrontational tone. You know what you excel at and attack your competitors with it.

I really dislike how all the other JS UI libraries are basically the same and espouse the same ideas.

Svelte was way better when Rich Harris was straight up attacking react devs at conferences and shaming them for poor performance.

Being "nice" just ensures entrenched players stay entrenched.

I wrote "tone down" not "completely remove" ;)

Rich and HTMX have a much different tone while shaming React.

If you're actually doing something better and your results actually stack up under scrutiny I don't see the problem.

I think most people get uncomfortable because it's often untrue in marketing. So if it's true (to the best of your knowledge and after outside probing) then by all means.
