I believe the reason this post rubs so many the wrong way is because the author keeps praising his “opponents”, trying to sound positive while being inherently negative. It’s an ugly way of argumenting as it forces the other side to be the negative one, when in fact the author is the one who’s trying to bring something down. In the end the author just sounds dishonest, like a politician with a smile plastered over their face all the time. I believe there are two ways this post could have been written which would have given a better impression of the author and his intentions. Either openly criticize SQLite, with well-formulated arguments, or don’t criticize SQLite and just announce that you’re doing something new (building on top of SQLite is not at all uncommon after all).
