I read this through to the end and appreciated the work on the before / after graphics, and that someone was cataloging the differences.

But can I gently suggest separating the opinion out from the facts? It gets tiring being told how to think about what's being described, that they're hopeless dummies. At the same time, eg, observations that there are build-time deps to large things few people want, are relevant.

As an exercise, you might try moving your opinion to a section at the end and limiting the rest of the article to neutrally reporting facts.
