I know that, but telling everybody who expresses any preference for any system that system X is obviously far superior is really annoying.

- lispm 10y agoNobody does that. But for certain areas this is true and you should not ignore that. Grady Booch once at an Eclipse conference: "For those of you looking at the future of development environments, I encourage you to go back and review some of the Xerox documentation for InterLisp-D."
- qwertyuiop924 10y ago...Well, you do. And so do many other Lispers, for that matter. IIRC, I've been guilty of it myself.
- lispm 10y agoI don't.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoWe all do, to a more or lesser degree. Lispers, in particular, are prone to it. I do it, and I've seen you do it too. This isn't, by the way, a slight on you. Nor do I dislike you in any way. I do tend to argue with you a lot, but that's because I disagree with you, and I am of the firm belief that you can learn a lot by discussing subjects with people who disagree with you regarding them.
- kirghiz 10y agoRepeatedly telling someone that they are annoying is in itself quite annoying. Any examples of your own lisp systems?
