Agreed, once you've spent hrs fighting with C build tools under a deadline, it becomes very easy to see why this is beneficial.

No need to be an asshole; we can all discuss things civilly.

Only if people provide reasons for why they think it is bad, but with people along the lines of "Header-only? Eww. Sucks." you cannot.

To comment on this, I have a couple of header-only projects I have written. It makes sense in some scenarios. Sometimes I want no external dependencies and a single header file interface.

Some people may not have known the difference and probably thought it was more akin to a naming convention.

I'm obviously not talking about the people asking "what is it".

It would be a lot better for the community if you directly replied to the objectionable content with a civil response.
