Because I don't like reading shallow hit jobs, and I think it's not just sloppy writing, but reflects to their authors too.


How is an opinion piece a shallow hit job? If you’re reading this as some credible news… stop?


Picture this article being written a vi/vim user; about all of those "freaks who use emacs".

At some point you realise the writer is doing the same kind of thing as the people described, their criticisms make a low effort to understand and declare the "other side" wrong, for reasons that are basically "I didnt like it".

From other comments here, I've since learned there is plenty to criticise about the speech, actions, behaviour of this individual, which is trivial to discover.


So you’re comparing someone who has encouraged young women to kill themselves to someone who users eMacs? I think you need to reevaluate your life.
