That's a strawman. Your question is ridiculous. Features of a certain language/framework/etc != languages/frameworks/etc

  That doesn’t make it a straw man, because the argument you made applies equally well to languages/frameworks and to their features.

  Let's try again: would you work on your car using a chainsaw because it happens to be in your tool box?
  • ahbs66 8y ago
    No. I would use a more appropriate tool, because I will never refuse to use anything that's in my toolbox, like Theo did. :)

      That's fine, but not a great analogy. Because once you ship software, everybody has access to that tool. No matter if you agree or disagree, Theo/OpenBSD made a engineering choice and did what they thought was the right choice for OpenBSD users. As fellow engineers, we should realize how difficult that is, and that the discussion deserves a bit more nuance, depth and respect. I still don't full understand the trade-offs.
