I'm with you on that one. The biggest bitching point that I seem to be seeing is that the nerd community is mad because they sold to Facebook. I guess somehow they thought that the tech would stay in the realm of indie developers and not go to a company that they despise(for whatever reason). It's kinda like how a lot of people freaked out when Microsoft bought out Skype.
