me on the design of python, javascript, and other widely-criticized programming languages: "ehh they're FINE, not perfect but good enough, and while they could be improved it's not a high priority"
me on the design of any 'hypertext' system: "JESUS CHRIST THIS IS A STUPID TERRIBLE DESIGN, HOLD YOURSELF TO HIGHER STANDARDS!"
Pretty sure most people feel the opposite way. But, having written both programming languages and hypertext systems, hypertext systems are a lot easier to do "correctly" so I have much less tolerance for misfeatures.
