I'm not singling you out, daturkel, but these kinds of comments are becoming almost as irritating as his self-congratulatory prose (which I'll grant you is pretty grating at times).

Thing is, if the creator of any piece of software has earned their arrogance, it's Stephen Wolfram. Mathematica is really, properly amazing stuff. It's the closest thing I've ever seen to that Star Trek vision of a computer you can ask anything of. It's orders of magnitude more impressive than, say, a glorified address book, but Stephen Wolfram never put the word 'bitch' on his business cards. He just talks about the stuff his company has built and doesn't bother with humility. There are worse faults.
