I don't really care why you quit using X. I don't need validation from some blog about what technology to use or not use. I can evaluate X technology on my own, thank you.
They often want to tell you "We're switching from X to Y, because our use-cases aren't that of X (anymore)"
But they write it like "We're switching from X to Y and you should too, because X is really bad for everyone!"
If you ignore the holier-than-you writing style, and try to read these articles like the first example, they have some useful information :)
How often do you see:
"If you have use case X, SoftGood will help you solve problem Y without triggering problem Z. If you have use case K, SoftGood may not be the best fit for you."
vs
"You should use SoftPanacea -- it's design-driven, big-scale, cloud-fronked, makes your life easier, and is awesome!"
I vote we focus on eliminating the most annoying of all title formats, the "gate" suffix.
Yeah.
:)
I considering switching back anyway. Fastmail search is just awful.
