It wasn't an ad hominem attack. Ad hominem quite literally refers to an attack against a specific person. Not only was he not attacking a person, but referring to 'hipsters' is not necessarily pejorative.

I believe he was incorrect to call guitar players who use analog equipment hipsters, as using analog equipment is the status quo, not some niche subculture outside of the mainstream.

I would like to respectfully suggest being a little less sensitive, though. Not giving new things a chance because of other people attitudes seems very silly to me.

Hipster is an insult; do people call themselves hipster? Not usually.

I've tried a lot of modelers. If all I ever hear is that I'm defective for not thinking they're perfect, why would I be open? It feels like a crusade with a side of propaganda. I really do want them to be good.
