Wow, thanks for the downvotes, everyone! Maybe I'm simply in the wrong community? I thought some intelligent discussion would be welcome, but let's try this:

Go driverless cars!

Microsoft Bad! Google Good!

Javascript Javascript Rah Rah Rah!

FWIW, I think the problem with some of your comments, including this one, is that they're too dismissive. It's fine to make substantive critiques, but if the substance/dismissiveness ratio gets too low, people treat those as bad comments.
