I agree. The article I link below (and which I believe I first saw here on HN) should be closer to the model of what I would hope to see more of around here.

It gives you easy to read data which I believe is often more helpful than any opinions because at the end of the day you want to know, what are the trade-offs between performance and development time*, among other things. And it's also careful to point out many relevant caveats.
