Can you please not lead with a punch when posting like this? The other user shouldn't have overreacted, but your comment was nasty to begin with, especially since this is a well-known point of disagreement—not to mention well-trodden, therefore generic, therefore predictable, therefore tedious, and therefore mostly off-topic.

See this in particular: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html. It includes:
Be respectful. Anyone sharing work is making a contribution, however modest.
Ask questions out of curiosity. Don't cross-examine.
Instead of "you're doing it wrong", suggest alternatives. When someone is learning, help them learn more.
When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative.
