TBH, even with all the rants, fights and drama the scene is not completely useless but kinda damaged. We do have a stable CFW that look a particularly long time to come in the first place since the PS3 launch in 2006. And since then, we have a come a long way to CEX-DEX and Dongles. Dongles are just crap but they prove that the system has vulnerabilities and can be exploited to make full utilization. However, it is sad that the methods won't be shared for free or in some cases not shared with us end users at all. The problem of divide between us is the real reason that the scene has got so ugly. The devs are two sided and so are the users. Some say money - some say knowledge - some just don't give a damn how it is done as long as there is a way. Though we all hate $ony they still laugh at us like we are all blind blithering idiots who can't do $hit. Till we don't resolve the disputes between ourselves there cannot be a free or peaceful scene. Right now, the scenario is, Your Scene VS My Scene whereas it should be The Scene VS $ony. To dongle makers, I'll recite the same story to which you turn a deaf ear, making a dongle is not a crime, but making it for the purposes of DRM'ing is just a misplaced sense of principle. Unless you can show that the dongle has a purpose other than DRM (like a modchip for a PS2) YOU SHALL NEVER BE ACCEPTED. To everybody thrashing devs, choose your words of hate carefully and time them. Not all of them are going the other way, but will be tempted more if we don't be grateful for what they contribute. And to devs who already have gone the other way, good luck with that.
