The developer of Raccoon actually liked receiving feedback and constructive criticism, most of the issues reported had been solved it no time.
The main reason for the takedown was that, using his real name and surname, his reputation as a professional developer was being damaged by people crying that 4.1/10 for Markdown sucked, that it was the app with the lowest score ever, etc.
Seeing real damage and real losses in your personal life (for something you do as a volunteer) was probably perceived as a betrayal.
