As someone at the inflection point of choosing a single-page framework, I find these "flamewars" incredibly useful. Further I find the notion that this is evidence of insecurity itself evidence of insecurity -- why feel threatened that people discuss alternatives and merits/detriments?
When new language features of C# or other languages (e.g. Go) are brought up on here, inevitably those features and benefits will be contrast against other languages. And they should. Because we aren't hammers and everything isn't a nail, and even if we happen to use tool A today, we usually have the capacity to move to tool B tomorrow if it made sense.
- watty 12y agoSurely you don't really find "off topic" complaints an insecurity. This article is about Angular 2.0, I would expect to read about thoughts/pros/cons about Angular 2.0 when reading the comments. It's similar to reading comments on a Halo (Xbox) post on Reddit. Over half the comments are flame wars about PS4 > Xbox. There have been many "framework vs. framework" potss already on HN, let's keep the flamewars contained.
- personZ 12y agoWhat is the scope of an on-topic pros and cons discussion, though? It seems that the relative comparison should include competitors, especially given how large of a change this apparently will be. For a current user of Angular it isn't a certainty that will make them a user of 2.0.
- joshkpeterson 12y agoNo, sometimes you don't really know what something is without holding it up to a yardstick. Flamewars are annoying, but this isn't a flamewar. Carry on.
