Yeah, what she said.

Use whatever you want, with joy and peace! I just don't like to hear proselytizing.

(I realize that this is opening myself to lots of discussion of it in the comments, so I'll say up front: I will ignore attempts to draw me into that with extreme prejudice. Also, yes, it applies to Linux, too.)

(Also, I feel much better today, thank you.)

I find technology discussions of the "Here's what I like about what I use" sort sometimes interesting and helpful. Technology discussions (and just about every other kind) of the "Here's what you should use," not so. Me=me, you=you, me /= you. Not so hard.

Yeah, exactly.

I have no objection whatsoever to 'omg, I love my [technology]! I love that it does X and Y, and Q is so shiny!' That's kind of fun to read, because I find enthusiasm delightful most of the time. It's when it switches over to 'therefore, you should stop using what you like, and start using what I like!' or 'and that's why your thing sucks in comparison!' that I think it's problematic.
