From my limited perspective, it seems like the community wants mod support, but they were mad about some combination of these things:

Updates and hot fixes don't come quickly enough
Updates sometimes break a large number of existing mods
Not enough new features or explicit support for certain mod features being promised
Things they promised not working as well as people hoped

This isn't everything, but it's what I observed for myself. As you can see, there's some contradiction here, and some of that comes from different people in the community, and some of it comes from people who just want to be mad at everything

For whatever it's worth, most people seem to be just enjoying the game and are excited for anything new coming for it.

In other words, things that are normal about game development, especially for games that are still getting updates. Of course an update will break mods, of course there's going to be some miscommunication, of course there's going to be bugs in a game this complex and fixing them takes time.

I'm just glad Larian recognizes that most of us knows how this sort of thing works and to call out that handful who have nothing better to do than to spew their hate on the internet.

I play on macOS so I'm basically 3 weeks behind everyone's version and yet I'm super happy with the official mods support, even if I have to wait 6 months to finally get it. I don't get why people would act like this. This game is awesome!

There's some real weird bugs happening in patch 6 and Larian had to roll it back.

Like that is genuine criticism of pushing untested patch and they admitted to it and will have real QA going forth.

So it's not all black as people might have you believe. I never modded it and my Calasor fight got completely bricked. It happens, but really took the excitement from that wonderful arc...
