I'm not sure insulting the people who worked on Vector is the best way to motivated them to fix things. At the last company I worked for (which owns a couple of top 100 websites and has a staff of thousands), they didn't even care about their sites working right on iPhones. Considering the number of cell phones that Vector does work on, and the fact that it was implemented by a small handful of developers, I think they should be commended rather than insulted. But that's just me. (FYI, I had no involvement in Vector development.)
It worked, then it broke, and Wikimedia didn't check beforehand and was slow to act on it. That's the sequence of events as it actually occurred. That doesn't look good to the end users, no matter how little the people who made the change like it.
