The article addresses that in the starting paragraphs: there was no real opposition, just an unwillingness to compromise on how to do it.

> Everyone agreed we should have Figlets, but nobody agreed about its configuration.



Then Figlets was not a solution by itself. Just an implementation detail. By analogy, you can't say "we need a graph data structure", agree on python as a language, then consider the actual computer science an implementation detail that is being bickered over.

For a code review tool, "details" like CI integration, approval process, deployment integration, etc. are the solution. Figlets is just a shortcut for a big piece of that. Figlets could even be a blocker for certain features (like being to review code without a VPN connection).
