I listen to the following:

    Code.
    Patches.
    Real suggestions for improvement.
    Intelligent discussion.

I don't listen to the following:

    Flame wars about technologies used.
    Whiny people who can't learn a new technology.
    Whiny people who only use 'standards'.
    People who are clearly without a clue.
    Hypocrites.

My original posting was simply trying to encourage people to adopt Maven
because I think it is a cool technology that can save hundreds of hours of
development time and headaches. It can help unify us to survive the
perceived M$ .Net invasion. It can help us gain more popularity among our
users because our tools are easy to build and install.
