is harsh criticism of E:D and FDev welcomed here? (lemm.ee)

Ever since Update 16 gave us nothing new that isn't War-related except magnetic sippy cups at low-grav outposts, I've become disillusioned and very much disappointed in E:D and especially FDev. However, on the other site, whenever I post any comments that give any sort of criticism towards E:D or FDev, I get chastised and ridiculed. It seems that, now, the general consensus is that FDev can do no wrong and E:D is the greatest game ever. I don't agree, I think they both have a lot wrong with them, and this is coming from someone with over 800 hours put into the game and who loves it to death. I guess I was wondering if this place is as much of an echo chamber as the other place, or if I can truly freely air my opinions on certain things about E:D and FDev here

This is only from what I’ve read, but apparently the Cobra engine is a pain to work with and many of the devs who were most familiar with it have gone. If true it would explain why it would take so much effort and resources (and the poor optimisation). But again, that’s only from what I’ve seen others post so take with a pinch of salt!

Yea, I recall there's more than one Glassdoor review that moans about the Cobra engine's difficulties.
