Not at all. It's just some comments that (by design, I think) lead us to react. On a personal note: a few months ago I was working on my opera with my laptop at a parent/teachers reunion with my colleagues, and then a man stops by and goes "oh, you're copying music, that's nice; what software are you using?" Obviously, I immediately go astroturfing-mode, "This is the finest piece of software you'll ever meet, it is a free software called LilyPond and..." Him: "I do know LilyPond". Me: "Oh. Great, then!" Him: "... And I don't like it." Me: "Oh. Why is that? You know it must be the finest piece of..." Him: "Nah, it's just crap. That's all." Me: "But, do you know how many things you can achieve with LilyPond? It has more features than..." Him: "Nothing any decent software can't do. LilyPond just makes it harder." Me: "But the quality of its output is..." Him: "No, it's just plain shit. Listen, I understand you're making a big score; you have to use a /real/ music software. Why don't you come next Saturday, I'll show you some stuff?" Me: "??? What is there on Saturday?" Him: "It's the Sibelius Demonstration Day, at Steinberg France." Me: "..." Him: "... I work there." What's the phrase already? First they ignore you...
