If I put myself in his place and after reading what he has to say I can
come to understand why there's such an aversion to the work.

Still, it is wrong to tag things we don't like as unnameable. It's like
saying Windows is a bad word and just forgetting about it (cons and
advantages) or to keep it local, things like bash and ksh or gnome and
cde. In other words keep an eye on the things you dislike, that will
help you push your opinion further and not seem blind sighted.

I hope this isn't flamish, it was not my intention...
