There are people attacking the author for a statement made about CoreOS, and for some hate towards Kubernetes.
The key point of the article is not really being addressed here: vested interests from large companies are able to introduce huge complexity into simple, well-designed projects. While the complexity may be good for some end that said vested interest has in mind, they are also in a position to absorb the cost of that increased complexity.
In the meantime, the simpler version of the software is long gone, with the added complexity placing a large burden on the solo developer or small team.
It's almost like there's no good representation in the open-source world for the solo developer or small team. Funding and adoption (in the extreme, some might say hijacking) of open-source projects from large corporations dictates the direction of all major software components today. Along with the roses come some very real thorns.
