Saying shill implies XLibre is some kind of scam he's trying to trick you into, where as, if you don't like it, you're absolutely free to not use it.

Or, what's the popular line in this scenario, "if you don't like it go make your own?"

I'm sorry.. I just find the reliable cult of software personality on HN to be a little frustrating.

Xlibre is not really a scam but it isn't much of a serious technical project either. I suppose you could call it a low-effort meme of the typical 4chan variety.
