Hello. I am rational developer. I am very clever and very rational. Devoid of emotion. Oh what is this? The pixels in my screen have changed. What is this bubbling feeling in me? An emotional response? No way. I am rational. Therefore these changes must be objectively stupid and dumb and wrong. Let me explain why.

This is how I understand all these posts. It’s fine not to like something. You don’t even need a good reason. That is what taste is all about. Just don’t pretend that your emotional response is grounded in objective and universal fact.

Am I being facetious? Not really. Calling a benign (and in my view long overdue) update to the settings panel “a fucking joke” is nothing but an emotional screech.
