Free markets have the exclusive power to solve problems like these, and it does so quite efficiently. There is no sense getting upset or picking sides. We don't need "client wars". Someday we'll forget this even happened.
I like amethyst. I like damus. I'll use both. If you can't see my dumb meme pictures in a client it doesn't matter to me. This protocol will improve no matter what you do. So chill out and let's simply support our devs and not turn every thing into a virtual dick measuring contest. Focus your energy on building.
