What do you call it when you say people are "pissing and moaning"? If it's not sarcasm, then you must mean that you sincerely assert that they are urinating and making soft unintelligible noises. Is that your non-sarcastic claim?

You say you've written "tons" of software. How much is that in terms of lines of finished, debugged code, or kilobytes of compiled code? Visual Basic doesn't count. Neither does HTML. Have you written anything in assembler that ended up in a commercial product? Done any debugging at the register level? Written any hardware drivers? I've written 100,000 lines of finished C++ on spec that I sold to a major test and measurement company. That gives me the right to have an opinion about the quality of software, just like the guy who's done a dozen show-quality restorations of old trucks has the right to have an opinion about other people's body and paint work.

If you find you're experiencing feelings of frustration when reading the comments of people who think one version of a program is better than a different version, then perhaps you're getting too emotionally invested in your on-line world and it's time to go to the shop and cut some metal.
