These copy pastas (whether for visual programming languages or approaches to solving spam or whatever else), while witty the first time one sees them, get irrelevant very fast as they only provide generic, blanket criticisms of a design with no consideration for the tradeoffs involved or why they are made. In other words, you could post such a takedown for plenty of visual programming languages that have very satisfied users who are made very productive by their use. Does that mean they “won’t work”? Clearly not. These text templates are very easy to post - all it required of you was to skim the page, add an X to the lines where it felt like there was sort of a match even if you don’t really know, and click “post” - but they provide little to no value.
