I'm glad it could be helpful to some! I really enjoy the writing style- it's very easy to digest. (Not saying I'd want every article to be like this but it suits the content!)
I'm mixed about how the article just lumps in a bunch of critics as trolls. There's a great section about extracting useful criticism from someone who is having trouble what they're describing and quite frankly I don't see too much difference between them and the "trolls." I'm not saying all criticism is in good faith, but I don't necessarily agree it's a good idea to shut out people you perceive as trolls right away. Not everyone's going to be able to give the criticism you want, and a lot of times they aren't too great at giving the criticism they want either. That being said it really depends on what's important to you and what your goals (and target audience especially) are with your project. The more appeal you want the more you're going to have to try to understand all kinds of different points of views.
Also I don't really agree with being disappointed in people who are fed up with Jony Ive's trash. I just don't think Apple is going to make too many great products as long as he's around. As the head of design at Apple it's clear there's something seriously going wrong and I think some fresh blood would do the company good. I want Apple to make the best products possible but I just don't see Jony Ive giving too much heed to what journalists have to say no matter what they tweet LOL (but this isn't too relevant to this thread...)
Anyway, as I've said in the other thread I think all criticism is a blessing. Even the more obtuse criticism can give you some insight if you spend some time with it. However, your project is your project- you decide what matters with it or not.
