It's not about a winner. This isn't CNN, there's no reason, (if you know better) to use the vibe coded sketchy software like he said. We're better than this. Do you really think popular = automatically better?

If it gets the point effectively across better than the original. Yes. It is more supported than something that is OSS that will die in under a year. There are features that ZuckOff has that are more useful than the suggested one IMO. For a vibecoded app, it is well packaged with a great name. That is how you get people to use your app.

  I'd rather use software which was made to solve a problem than software that exists to "get" people to use it.

    Why use logic when you can use ai pixie dust and marketing and of course our good friend. Bullshit.

popular != better but better == popular If you see something that is popular but you think it is worse, then your better/worse axis is not aligned with the majority. For example, X is better than Mastodon because you don't have to pick a server to use.

  Untrue for sails, untrue for dinghys, untrue for foils, because price discrimination. I thought it might have been true for catamaran, but I looked it up and it seems that Hobie Cat 16 are still more popular than Nacras for some inimaginable reason, as for once it's not price related. If I go on another subject I invested time in, RPGs, D&D is the most popular system while inferior imho to a lot of others. Even if we have to keep the very flawed d20 system, the way forgotten chronicles handles everything is superior (and if in your bad opinion it's not the case because weirdly you like the class system, you probably would prefer pathfinder instead of dnd).
