Long story short: He started working on a compiler that uses a mutable register model for its IR, and now he's mad that LLVM's SSA model doesn't cleanly map to what he happened to be doing.

As opposed to what? LLVM is fine for its intended purpose (do we really need to reinvent the wheel for every register machine architecture in existence?)

The real mistake is not knowing what your generated input is supposed to look like. 10 seconds on Wikipedia could have told him this, followed by a few minutes' thought to decide whether it's worth it to generate said input or use something else instead.
