For me, the most interesting aspect of typical flame wars is the persistent
demonstration of logical fallicies offered by participants on all sides.
http://members.tripod.com/AttitudeAdjustment/Books/Logic.htm provides a
useful summary.
In the heat of the flame, personalities lose their multidimensional quality
and collapse down to their core structure, well-illustrated at
http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/index.htm
From a purely logical standpoint, all programming tools and languages have
their identifying strengths and shortcomings. The first job of the
programmer is to understand the problem. Selecting the tool is the second
job. If a chosen tool is unsuitable to the task at hand, cast it aside and
try another.
It is a poor carpenter who blames his tools for the quality of his work, or
who faults the work of others solely for the tools they use.
