That may be, but they're the only community I see being extremely in-your-face about their tool and how it's clearly beating the pants off everything else. Personally, I'd be more interested why they feel the need to declare its goodness so loudly, when if it really is as awesome as these articles make it sound then it'll spread like wildfire by word of mouth.
emacs changed the way I write code, and made me wildly efficient compared to before I used it. That doesn't mean I'm going to go and start browbeating people into using it. The git community seems to be blind to the notion that git (as wonderful as it is) might not be for everyone.

- FooBarWidget 17y agoHow is an article on someone elses website "in-your-face"? Nobody's pointing a gun at you and forcing you to read it. If blogging about it is "in-your-face" then what do you consider an acceptable method to tell others about a great tool?
