I don't think I said anything negative about the tool itself, or about the author of the tool, who seems perfectly happy with it.

You're right that I don't think it's useful to have a proliferation of tools that do one thing worse than a general-purpose tool.

I don't want an avocado peeler - I'll use a knife and I'll recommend using a knife to others.

It's your tone more than anything. I read some of your previous posts to see if you were a d-bag and I came to the conclusion that you're not[1]. This reads more like the post was a button-pusher for you. I can relate. :)

Unfortunately, even with the tone removed, the comment hits that "top-voted middlebrow" button for many of the other people on the site. I would however say that for TFA itself as well.

[1] the opinion of some random interdweeb carries a lot of weight, I know. :)

Great. Good for you.

Your initial comment, however, is filled with a denigrating tone. It is that tone your parent is addressing. Not so much the content. The tone. It is unkind.
