Well, I don't see the offensive part here. As you say it yourself: "It might be overkill for many simple use-cases." Period. No need to jump into every thread where a user says that it is just too much for her use case, and you asking for links to compare the output (as you did with me as well?). Just be happy with what you created and the showcases prove the demand for it. So?

Well, we don't have at all the same definition of what "offensive" means then.

> where a user says that it is just too much for her use case

That's not at all what the op said, just a 2nd reminder:

> > this is so incredibly over-engineered it's comical to me.

The op said it's over-engineered, in general, not for her use-case

I am happy with the result and I won't be affected too much by comments from people that criticize what we've built without giving it a try. Now I keep the right to defend the tool when it's criticized this way.
