> I also have issue with it’s creator, John Gruber. He is a highly annoying smug Apple Fanboy. His writing was fine in the early days when Apple was #3, but got intolerable as Apple became the 800lb gorilla. It’s changed recently as Apple has snubbed him but I still can’t read anything he writes.
Thank you! I thought it was just me...

- darkwater 1y agoCame here to paste the exact same quote with a very similar comment. I expand it by adding that Gruber is probably the archetypal "Apple fanboy" made flesh. They don't look like fanatics - as in sports fan or politics discussions in a bar over a beer - they just made their point with a subtle superiority and an "obviously Apple made the best choice here, as usual" spin to all of his posts. I should also add that I stopped reading him time ago though, things might have changed (also it feels like his posts are not so present on the HN frontpage like they used to be)
