   http://qttr.at/1z8k I remember the Cocoa folks hating the Carbon folks. Then Java, Carbon again, Android, JS, and currently ObjC.

      @leeg I've been guilty of regurgitating "PHP sucks" tropes passed down to me from l33t h@ck3rs I know. Such lack of mutual respect is toxic

         @leeg that said, my reasons for criticizing #Windows are based on ethical objections to its weaponized role in #Microsoft's business model

               @leeg ... package management being the obvious one. Manually updating third party apps and plugins on #Windows is a true Boulder of Sisyphus

                  @leeg I try my best to focus on helping people dual-boot and explore #GNU-Linux though, rather than heaping scorn on them for using #Windows

         @strypey @leeg I never really understood that. At the last company I remember asking why people thought that php sucks, but the replies weren't very convincing.

            @bob @leeg I think it's mostly criticisms of early #PHP flaws that have long since been addressed. Also people pushing their own pet tools
