Dude, check Twitter and the Etherpad blog post. Both are FULL of comments from people who feel very similarly. I'm reporting on this from a perspective that a lot of people share. Looking at your comments on TC's coverage linked here I can see you've said things like "it's better to know we have successful developer colleagues who sold to GOOG than it is to complain about your inconvenience as a user." So that's your perspective, you identify with the developers who sold the company. I'm reporting from another perspective.

Also, don't compare me to mashable if you want to have a civil conversation, that's just fighting dirty.
