you're completely passing over the fact that there are people with illegitimate grievances, the response to which genuinely should be "well, don't use rails then". i thought dhh's post provided a good analogy for people who don't get that on a software stack level to relate to.
So? There are tons of people, including both rails core and ruby core contributors with legitimate grievances, in the exact thread in question, that are lumped in with this group DHH is mocking. Its an absolutely terrible analogy and is completely disingenuous to the current situation.
This summed it up best in my eyes:
"Reading this feels exactly like reading the passive aggressive facebook posts of someone currently in a fight with their boy/girlfriend. "
