   My timeline is split evenly between two camps:

   - "I don't know why ANYONE would use an Apple Vision Pro. It's stupid and anyone who likes it is stupid."
   - "Huh. This is actually pretty neat."

   Look, I don't think the AVP is for me, probably, but if I had to pick a camp to hang out in, it sure wouldn't be the first one. It's an entirely optional tech gizmo; it's not worth villifying people over.

     @danhulton there will be some people who will like VR goggles. But it doesnt feel that its going to be a mainstream UI - in the short term at least. The backlash is probably due to Apple fanboys overstating the case as they usually do.

     @phiofx I mean maybe, but again, that's not what I'm seeing. The fanboys are quiet or even absent. The only folks I'm seeing who have really strong opinions on it are those who seem to really, really hate it. 🤷♂️

     @danhulton hmm, I don't really know. There is strong tech backlash in various quarters (imho broadly speaking justified) but whether thats what you are seeing in this specific case is another matter.
