I think you'll find that opinions that trash talk any given technology whether OS, browser, language, editor, hardware, etc and then take the easy way out by not posing the "correct" choice get heavily upvoted.
In general, it's much easier to spot defects and more difficult to see the good in things. People are much more likely to play into their own biases from the safety of online anonymity.
For instance, "I don't like this OS, browser, language, editor, hardware, etc or this person's/company's choice of OS, browser, language, editor, hardware, etc, therefor downvote/rant/complain/FUD."
It's really too bad. It never hurts to know more, and it shows new members of the community that it's acceptable to behave that way and to not try to learn new things.
