I am the minority I guess, because I support WordPress, both the dot com and dot org, along with their CEO.
WPE (WordPress Engine) for a while kept making themselves appear as if they were WordPress. There are a lot of people who believes they were all the same company and WPE was making some serious bank (money), masking themselves as WordPress. But WPE and WordPress, themselves, offered different levels of support (quality).
I think the CEO tried to handle this behind closed doors and WPE wasn't playing fairly. I also think WPE likely had more bank to ride this out in court, that it would have been worth for WordPress, and so the court of public opinion is where the CEO took this. Was it pretty? No. But sometimes you got to do what you got to do.
