I think you're right about the tone but there's a simple explanation for it: ERB is the default. Everyone has used it and no one (+/- a couple people) is already using HAML and needs someone to come along and say "Hey, have you heard about this awesome thing called ERB? You can just write HTML and inline your code right there!" I may have missed my mark in the writing because my point isn't to say that HAML sucks; my point is to say that there are logical reasons to decide NOT to use HAML just as there are logical reasons TO use HAML. What I was tired of is the assumption that HAML is simply universally superior and anyone who doesn't use it only does so because they don't "understand" HAML. We have the facts and we're saying ERB. ;)
