Right, it honestly feels like the parent commenter either misunderstands Dynamicland's aims, or is willfully drawing comparisons to make it seem like the projects are tackling the same issues, out of which Dark comes out as the more successful one (at least measured by "adoption").
I don't see what the "almost completely dis-empowering the user" is about either; if anything, Dynamicland seems the more empowering of the two, whereas Dark's endgame is more efficient development of a fundamentally conventional type of software.
It feels rather dishonest; the comparisons are sweeping and vague, with very little substance as to an actual criticism.
