I think many peoples interpretation of this site, is that since it's related to start-ups that it's supposed to be the typical vapid conversation you might find at a start-up gathering. The thinking is that everyone has to be super positive because they can't afford to be negative whether in dollars or in social cred. However, there are also readers here that don't need to put forth an image because they're not trying to make the start-up scene or maintain a persona. Many of these same people also feel a moral obligation to keep the truth, which can clash with other HN participants' motives. Maybe textmate 2 is shitty. You have to ask yourself what is the reason you think that idea should not be put forth here.
