Seeing the first link, I find this: "Although it may be enticing to spend a few years with a slick point and click IDE such as VisualStudio and pretend you are programming..."
Is that a thoughtful comment? I don't think so. I think that this kind of comment is what groupthink is really made of.
People thinks that the audience of the site is mostly anti-microsoft and happily insults "the others", hoping that this kind of remark will be rewarded.
Heck! If it turns out that enough people dislike that behaviour and downvote, you can still make a story asking for a revision. It seems to have worked, BTW.
OK, it might not be the case for all the comments you meant, but there are many and the general tone of them really didn't invite to more detailed read.
IOW: if you have something interesting to say, try to write respectfully and to the point. It's posible to say you don't like certain IDE without saying their users "pretend" to be programming.
