It's just a figure of speech. It's not meant to be taken literally. It's a valid description of a lot of people's feelings for this user-hostile feature.

- Tagbert 7y agoIt may be a figure of speech but it is a ridiculous overreaction to call it an abomination. You may not like it but it’s nowhere near enough to describe that way. What term will you use when something truly bad comes up?

- pengaru 7y ago> What term will you use when something truly bad comes up? Surely you can imagine genuinely offensive overreactions, plain use of 'abomination' is nowhere near over the top. Consult some of Linus Torvalds' famous rants for examples.
- nocman 7y ago> What term will you use when something truly bad comes up? So you are saying it would be OK to call some feature of a piece of software "an abomination" if it were "something truly bad", then? Well, then why should mikro2nd be prevented from calling this feature "an abomination" if that is an accurate description of how he feels about it?
- cjaybo 7y agoIs it a valid description of people's feelings, or is it hyperbole? I struggle to see how it can be both at once.
