I agree that hypocrisy doesn't refute their argument but it does demonstrate that the author themselves either doesn't believe what they're writing or they have some other unknown reason for being hypocritical.
Seeing as no other reason was expressed in the article, I am comfortable taking the hypocrisy as a sign that the they don't believe what they're writing. In my experience, this usually means they are trying to sell me something.

- wilsonnb 8y agoThey're not all the way dead yet. Sublime text seems to be very transparent, in a 90's software sense. Pay some money, get some software, keep it forever. I'm sure there are other examples out there too. It does seem unlikely that any software like that will be as widespread as Windows 95 was, though.
