> Aside: I don't think it's healthy to be as invested as you are in random Internet comments. Probably :) Of course though, I do think we should all be aware there are people on the receiving end of these comments we casually fire at frameworks that have worked crazy hard on those projects. (Listen to this episode of The Changelog with the maintainer of Capistrano if you want to hear some evidence of the effects of this [1]). Vague, dismissive comments can sometimes be the hardest to hear. And yeah, I suppose sweeping generalisations are a massive bugbear of mine. At my previous job whenever I heard one heading my way I knew I was usually in for a ton of work to correct them so that we could _just do sensible work_. I think I have PTSD from that experience. :) I physically shudder when I hear the word 'bloat', for instance. (It's usually followed by some amount of ignorant tosh from someone who hasn't learned what that 'bloat' is there for). [1] http://thechangelog.com/110/ http://thechangelog.com/110/
