+1 I'm totally agreed with you. From the start of SuperVan's IC to the GB, lots of people from the community have insulted him and are trying to boycott Gsus's GB, and this fact it is suspicious at the minimum.
These actions aren't typical for a keyboard-enthusiast community like geekhack. It is bad taste to see this kind of drama. Everyone can make his opinion, but when the line is crossed to become an attack it becomes something different.
It doesn't matter who is lying, or if all the truth have been spoken, this is what happens every single day around everywhere, and more in the business world and the user isn't interested about that, only the final product that is he can pick and touch. The competition is always good for the user, and people aren't jerks, everyone chooses where to spend his time and money.
It seems that Gsus is enough similar to Invyr, to make Nathan and others don't complain about the result, despite not perfect. So is good for a newbie like me too.
Yes, I think 1.5$ for a switch is very expensive, considering you only want the housing. Also, 1$ is too expensive, but a little fairer. Is the price he chose, and you can be ok with that or not, but not throwing him stones to his face if you dislike this.
I will experiment Gsus for my own, and if MD sells Holy Panda v2 I will do too, making my own conclusions, and not what someone told me to do.
