I have often been criticised as way too optimistic for thinking some new thing might become commonplace. The topics change but the arguments seem to be the same.

It's limited, if it were any good, then the prevailing industry would suppress it. (Video Recorders) to be fair industries did try to suppress it.

There's literally centuries of doing things the old way. It doesn't matter if it's faster if half of your implements can't even be used with it. (Microwave ovens)

The same measuring a new paradigm by the goals of an earlier paradigm, over and over. Encountered with computers, mobile phones, the web, wikipedia, Streaming video.

It's all just "That thing can't fly, it doesn't have feathers" shifted to a new domain.
