I expected you to move the goalposts. "Would he post a praise-filled entry lauding their innovation, heralding this great new functionality? Maybe I'm just being a jerk, but I think he would viciously attack it." He has complimented innovation, and in all those cases he did not "viciously attack it". I'm disappointed that many of the comments on this thread have to do with the version of John Gruber in your head, and are attacking his character instead of his real arguments, as opposed to the arguments he makes in your imagination.

I didn't move the goalposts. We're talking about the now. Gruber is on a personal mission now to act as a one-man army against Google and, strangely, Adobe (the guy has a real hate on for Adobe that he suddenly developed once Jobs got his anti-Flash lean). The whole point of most DF complaints are that he went from being an Apple fan that wrote on technology to being an Apple fanatic that wrote critically about anything that threatens Apple.

  > the guy has a real hate on for Adobe that he suddenly developed once Jobs got his anti-Flash lean That wasn't sudden, Adobe and Macromedia have always been famous for slow programs and inconsistent UIs (although I hear Lightroom is good). http://daringfireball.net/2005/04/adobe_translation http://daringfireball.net/2005/04/adobe_translation http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/01/26/adobe-ui-gripes http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/01/26/adobe-ui-gripes
