The examples here are: These interoperability examples have something in common. A criminal monopolist.

It offends me when I hear them, and the millions like them, being written off as "dumb".
I am, frankly, the archetypical stupid user in quite a lot of areas -- and don't have problems with people that think other subjects than computers are worth their time. (I would love to spend decades on quite a few other subjects, personally.)

But it offends me when my life quality is lowered by convicted criminals, which e.g. make systems that are designed to be too complex to interoperate!

Update: OMG, this was my first negatively voted post ever. It even ended up on Worst of the day. (My only other negative of all time is four levels below this.)

I will stay out of the classical holy wars (at least, those irrelevant to Perl).
