Any tool sufficiently advanced to be useful to experts will from time to time surprise beginners who lack context knowledge. That is normal. Designing tools to be unsurprising for beginners usually just ends up limiting, frustrating or surprising the experts.

Yeah, business has adopted it wholesale because it loses them billions. That makes sense. Not.

That is just rude. Having a free meal in a restaurant does not give you the right to demand the head-cook steps down because you didn't like the way it was laid out on the plate. Whatever it was you intended to achieve with this post, this is not the way to go about it.

Normally I would ignore a post like this as trolling, but others have engaged, and I wanted to express some support for Junio as I know these kind of things can get even the thickest skinned hacker down.

So to Junio: Thank you for your contributions. I give you strength to ignore the trolls. I have stated this previously, but thanks again for add --interactive, that is a super useful tool which I use and appreciate pretty much every single day.

cheers, Yves
