Lovers: Its about decisions which means its about everything.

Haters: Its about decisions which means its about everything.

i think that is not a good “hater” description, it sounds like it was written by a “lover” and not by somebody who was really considering what problems di might have, especially in languages other than, say, Java/C#.

Lovers: it’s so concise that you think about what to code for an hour and then type it in 10 seconds

Haters: it’s so cryptic that you think about what to code for an hour and then type it in 10 seconds

Might not be a Marmite though as most people of Joe’s age have never heard if it.

Lovers: It’s so cool. I can see my carbon footprint, all the wonderful places I went for work and all the cool cities I went on vacation.

Haters: What a pretentious load of old tosh. Isn’t it enough to enjoy the actual travel? Not everyone gets to travel either.

I love and hate maven equally for those exact reasons. I love and hate RoR because I love Rails(although merb is superior) and I hate Ruby.

Lovers: It’s simple and scalable and works in 99.99% of the cases. -And the heart of Web 2.0 mashup computing. Just look at Google!

Haters: It’s just a toy. You can’t do anything serious with it. There isn’t even a schema for it!

Git

Lovers: It’s the Facebook of SCM. Anyone can cherrypick how they want to freebase and coding becomes a wonderful orgy of love. Anarchy yeah!

Haters: It’s an ugly MacGyver hack based on Perl, C, Bash and a hodgepodge of random Unix tools that only Linus Torvalds and a handful of hippies understand. The code becomes a total mess when anyone can fork nilly willy.

Lovers: Woo my code has good abstractions and its easy to test. And this framework I found saves me quite a lot of boiler plate coding.

Haters: What’s wrong with “new”? You exepect me to wire up all my objects upfront? I don’t get these magic xml files and Java annotations. I miss my singleton factories.
