I think the snark & combative tone is warranted - the wirecutter used to be a great resource for finding unbiased & thoroughly technical reviews on consumer products. Since they were bought by NYT the review quality has fallen off significantly. I think the writer (and many others) hold some justified resentment toward it now. I can see how some might find that tone to be a turnoff but it seems apt given their history.
