Every time Yet Another RuboCop Storm arrives, I wish that Bozhidar will eventually drop the whole thing and focus on other areas, where his work is very much appreciated by everyone — his Emacs work is unparalleled, and his work on CIDER (Clojure development environment) and nrepl is universally loved. These communities deeply appreciate the work and instead of recurring drama, provide sponsorship through OpenCollective (for CIDER) and directly to Bozhidar through Github Sponsors.


While certain RuboCop rules do cause drama, you'd be hard pressed to find anybody who doesn't appreciate the existence of Rubocop. It is absolutely ridiculous to state that discussions around specific cops and their applications are equivalent to any sort of hatred for Rubocop's creator.


I do remember some of his tweets where he seemed to be rather discouraged by the drama.
