Just from the title I can tell this is going to present a completely objective, well thought-out, unbiased appraisal.

  This is Hacker News. You have to have a conclusion or command in your title to get upvotes. "Why the cloud is wrong for your business." "Why your language sucks." "SaaS-de-jour, we have a problem."

    It hasn't always been this way but lately it sure seems that you need a sensational, controversial headline to make it to the front page.

  That's good, since us readers know what to expect from the article. Though you seem to be concerned about such kind of material being posted on HN. At first I was inclined to agree that it doesn't belong here. Yet consider, there's probably a lot of opinionated articles that include a fair bit of useful information (knowing others' opinion might be useful by itself), while bias can be neutralized by critical thinking, which HN audience hopefully is capable of. And I'd argue that on HN relatively many articles get to the front page even without sensational headlines.
