> I think Yehuda is a very nice and smart person

I always get confused by this. I don't understand how being nice factors into technical decisions?

(For the record, I also think wycats is nice, but I don't really care when I'm trying to decide whether or not what he's saying makes sense)

I assume it's to say that he doesn't have some sort of vendetta or dislike of Yehuda that's coloring his opinion.

If you need help, want to suggest a modification, or otherwise need to interact with the author(s) of something you're using, it's nice to have friendly people to deal with, rather than assholes, all else being equal.

I hadn't thought of it that way.
