If MediaWiki does not suit your needs compared to other wikis, please feel free to use other wikis instead. We aren't going to feel bad, and we didn't lose a sale.

I think it would be better to listen to any complains from any users. MediaWiki is not perfect by any means. The biggest improvements should come from the comparision with other wikis.
Again, you can only claim "I am not going to feel bad." not "We". Who were "We" here !?
I bet you attitude and words hurted many people and the whole project now and in a long run. We are going to lose! You are an important person currently for this project. The attitude of important persons really matter.
So be cautious to your attitude. Please.
I hate to critize people face to face. But I think somebody has to take that role in addition many others are praising you. Keep in mind that I am also very thankful for your diligent work for this project. :-)
Kiss All
