It's popular to hate on Apple right now. Seems even Hacker News isn't immune to this trend.

  HN has the ability to hate on literally everything. This forum is by far the most negative social platform I’m a member of. There’s rarely a positive word spoken about any article, and if the article isn’t worth negative comments we’ll find something else to hate, like the presentation of the website or the fonts or colors used.

    It's easy to be against something. It's hard to be for something.

    I like to think of HN as contrarian, not negative. Techies are cynical by nature because the promise and reality of technology are perpetually so far apart. And if your actual job in life is to anticipate where the problems are going to surface in technology, well... the longer you live with that, you develop commensurate expectations and compensatory mental models.
