@dalias OK, that's fair. Nonetheless, I must point out that both philosophies have produced different results, whether you find that user hostile seems to depend on your definition of user (for example, you but not me). You talked about "imposition of policy" in another thread, I must say that conversely this sort of final opinion is also for me the consequences of "imposition of policy" unilaterally by like-minded thinkers.
So in the end, I find these arguments hard to accept as criticism.
