> I don't think suggesting that people are stupid is a very good argument. I think part of the reason people are for it is post like yours which are rude and not in good faith.

You'll note I didn't say anyone was "stupid," if anything, I was actually saying those people were myopic and arrogant. I recommend you familiarize yourself with the concept of "engineer's disease," once you understand it, you'll see it all the time on HN.

> I don't think you're posting in good faith. I certainly don't think you're going to get the real reasons people support this stuff when you act like they're stupid or suggest a lot of this is being turfed. People are using these tools because they work.

> Your post says more about you than it does supporters.

I don't think suggestion that people are posting in bad faith is a good argument. I also detect a fair bit of binary thinking from you. All I did was post a non-exhaustive list of different reasons for that kind of content to answer the comment I was replying to.

The only "binary thinking" I'm using is not assuming that the reasons that people support these tools are all negative (myopic and arrogant, false sentiment, defensiveness, and pedantism).

You didn't even try to suggest that a lot of people are using these tools for positive reasons. Who is being myopic and arrogant? Who is engaging in binary thinking?

Consider that some people simplye find that these tools work for them.
