I just feel like people are right that the core team is not reasonable but at the same time, if there are that many people that like Elm, why not create a total fork?

It might come down to the people that would care enough to do the fork and a server or whatever have already had so much Koolaid that they just accept those negatives. And the other ones that can't accept it don't like it enough anymore to go to the trouble of making a fork.

But to me it seems like the best outcome is a fork that becomes successful.
