What is this article, I can't. In what world do we live in where we paint a $425m exit in a bad light?

It depends how much they invested in it before selling, my ignorant guess would way less than $425m. Also some investors may have invested in it for a valuation of 1B, in which case they did not get the return they expected. Anyway, I'm pretty sure all parties involved must be doing fine.
It works fine for other boards, so I assume it wasn't built with so many lists+cards in mind. But the fact it, it can be slow, almost unusable, at least for certain use cases.
