I think the problem initially was that people accused the creator of malice for no reason other than not being more specific about which features were a work in progress. I agree that it's not good to treat every criticism as an attack, but sometimes criticism of V (as an outsider, I've never used it) feels more like anger towards the creator rather than a helpful suggestion. For example, there's a difference between saying "I've found a bug in an advertised feature" and "You're a liar", which is how much of V's critics sound to me.
