Demonstrably false.
I'm not going to bother digging through his archives to prove this (it wouldn't take much to do, but you're not actually arguing against Gruber as much as your skewed conception of Gruber), but I'm fairly certain that Gruber's reaction to Ping is "confusion" (at best) to "dislike" (at worst), not like.
It's not hard to find cases where Gruber has had a negative reaction to something that Apple has done, or where he's said something negative about an Apple product.
- ootachi 15y agoI actually did do research before posting. He was excited about the possibilities of Ping: http://daringfireball.net/2010/09/how_ping_might_grow http://daringfireball.net/2010/09/how_ping_might_grow That's close enough to "liked Ping" in my book. Obviously, Gruber doesn't like every little thing about every Apple product. But I'm pretty sure it's not an exaggeration to say that he likes every Apple product.
- jkubicek 15y agoAgreed. Gruber is consistently ambivalent about Ping. http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=site:daringfireball.net+ping&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=... There's no evidence he's ever used Safari (or iTunes, for that matter) for Windows. Gruber is also consistently down on Apple for their opaque and arbitrary App Store policies, especially when they hamstring potentially great apps. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gruber/6648080689/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/gruber/6648080689/in/photostrea...
