You're not really addressing the arguments presented in the linked post, you're just being snarky. I can appreciate that, but the linked post makes some really good points. Also, the converse of the point you seem to be trying to make with your litany above is also true: new things are not always necessarily better than old ones. |

Correct.
> ... the linked post makes some really good points.
No, it doesn't (IMHO), hence my (admittedly) snarky response.
The TL:DR version of the post is "I'm used to Fahrenheit and like saying and hearing 'in the fifties'". That's not an argument, it's an historical artifact (being what they were exposed and thus accustomed to) dressed up as preference.
> new things are not always necessarily better than old ones.
Who ever said they were? I cited specific examples. Please don't erect a straw man and put words in my mouth.
The theme of what I said can be described as:
- people resist change; and
- when someone describes something as "better" what they normally mean is that they're used to it.
