What's with linking to an old "XML sucks" page with no content, insight or original thought? Is it bash <whatever-was-on-the-homepage-a-few-hours-ago> time?

On XSLT: find something that fills its role completely, with the same level of tooling, and then have a rant about inferior tools being popular, until then it doesn't really matter if it sucks.

If you refresh HN regularly, you will see that really often. People are just gaming the community for a few upvotes or views as far as I can tell.

I see this timeline all the time: 1. User posts article about xyz technology 2. User posts article negating post 1 3. Most boring shitstorm every occurs 4. karma karma karma

I think you just described every discussion medium on the Internet.

As a reddit refugee, I was hoping for a little more on HN.
