I personally don't think there is anything to complain about. Reactor will not be replacing core.
As long as I have core, I feel that as many people that want their own version of "built-up modifications" to that core are welcome to have it. I personally like to have CodeIgniter modified my own way, and will not be using Reactor, as it does things differently than the way I work. Nothing wrong with that.
Some people like Ford, others Chevy, others absolutely must have a Cadillac with all the extras. I don't want all that, I just want a really great engine that I can build my own car around in my own garage. CodeIgniter Core is just that engine.
I must agree with Jack McDade. I expect a higher level of professionalism when I come to read these forums. I realize I don't post often, but I do stop by to read once in a while. I have examined code from just about everyone who has posted code, and while I may or may not always think that a particular implementation is a good idea for me, I realize the merit it has for someone else, and I also gain insight and can use my imagination to see how it might be modified to fit the way I work at a later time.
