Does anyone not read into the sarcasm? This is the same cliche format stating that x is better than y, in such a manner to supposedly shame people still using y.

Nobody is shaming anyone.

There is a guideline on Hacker News (and this would apply to any online conversation):

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
