Hey, don't take it too bad. If you say anything negative about certain topics you will get downvotes. It's mostly because people not in love with certain topics have learned to just leave them alone and it's left a big echo chamber where anything positive will be upvoted and anything negative will be downvoted. You'll notice this by seeing that in non-Haskell threads, critical remarks about Haskell are upvoted, while in 'Haskell threads' such as this one where an echo chamber forms, anything critical about Haskell will be downvoted. It's an interesting behavior, but it says a lot more about certain cliques than it does about HN. Don't worry about it too much and get on with actually using practical tools to solve real problems and leave the echo chamber in their own peaceful world. Everyone is much better off.
