A crusade between programmers is just inevitable. But what the author rightly pointed out is,what we must do first is ask ourselves "Is it worth the fight/time/brain cells/what have you?". In some places yes it is. Like for example, if you are making a term project and you have a team of four. Now to fight the IDE vs Text editor/bash is pointless because nomatter what you use, the point is to contribute. But to fight the this programming language V/S that programming language is totally necessary coz if you wanna make your project better is good to discuss three or four options.
