Eli, sometimes you make me confused. I genuinely don't know
if you are ironic here or not. In case you're not: I didn't
mean "a lot" in some quantitative sense; I admit the expression
is somewhat unfortunate.

It's more the intensity of bad feelings on (mostly) both
sides, the "oldtimers" on the one fearing someone's out to
eat their lunch, the "newcomers" on the other, pushing their
new, shiny idea and frustrated that "progress is impossible"
at every (often well-founded!) pushback... well, we see that
time and again.

Now, I think it's OK to have strong feelings about one's
main and favourite tool, but perhaps we could try to develop
some genuine understanding [1] for each other's pain points
and just be a bit... nicer to each other.

Cheers

   passive-aggressive way :-/
