Don't worry, this is normal for HN. As a commenter higher up said, "People without experience come around and think they can replace an old tool with a better one". People tend to like thinking along the lines of "surely old things must be bad" and you'll get met with disagree-downvotes anytime you try to explain why you want old software in fields like crypto or internet routing. Try defending BGP in any of the DDOS or hijack threads and you'll be met with the same fate.
