That newfangled Journal thing

"a fairly large group of users/sysadmins/non-coders saying that they don't like some proposed change or that they think that a new solution is inferior to that which it replaces. In response, a small but very vocal portion of the community turns around and basically belittles them, mocking their views since they haven't written large amounts of popular code."

My post was not a repsonse to someone "not liking a proposed change" or "thinking that a new solution is inferior". It was a response to "this individual hasn't made one bit of code that makes for a significant improvement in system operation and HAS created significant amounts of chaos."

If someone claims that Lennart has not contributed any improvement but only created chaos, he really should be prepared to answer a question about his own contributions, which the original poster even did.
