Read and form your own coherent opinions, bust stop asking whole forums to.
Edit: I also want to jump in again and pooh-pooh this redditized style of askhn.
What also bothers me is the hostility and cynicism with which these things are discussed.
Also, you're tripping if you don't think HN has a quasi-consensus on many, many topics.

My point is it's still important remember that it's actually thousands of voices from dozens of actual technical communities. It's a bad habit and I work resist it myself.
If you met these people at a conference you'd come away thinking "wow, this must be and unresolved or open ended question in the field with a lot of distinct different opinions" not unsettled asking "well, which is it, make up your mind?!?".
You said you weren't sure how to feel about it. This is how you should feel about it. imho
Just this time around I had a weird gut feeling. So I created this post to get a bit of meta-level feedback.
