You are what I'm complaining about dude.

I'm an IT professional. I don't glorify or condemn anything on principle. They are just tools for jobs. Linux is no more glorious that a hammer. But you seem to think that hammer is the second coming of the son of God. Normal people use hammers to hit nails, they don't sit around and glorify and worship hammers as being superior to screw drivers.

So I'm not entitled to my opinion? It's a little disingenuous to act like I'm worshipping Linux when I literally just denounced that behaviour.

I know it's a crazy thought, but people are allowed to appreciate creations on an emotional level. I'm not shaming you either way whether you like it or not, I'm just laying out some reasons for why people treat Linux the way they do. People are allowed to like their tools and the work put into making them, and so the same thing goes for any software.

It seems to me like you're just having a hard time understanding that people tend to feel sentimental about their interests, which is what, y'know... Humans do. Your principles aren't universal imperatives. You're entitled to them, but you're treating them as objectively as any Linux snob treats their favourite distro.

Funnily enough you're also not entirely consistent with your holier-than-thou attitude towards any biases. This whole back and forth started with you calling Linux boring and dumb, facetious or not.
