One of the primary benefits I get from HN is the pro and con discussion of technology, especially if it's something I might want to use. If there are good reasons not use a technology, then I would rather hear about them before I rediscover them from my own experience.

As the author of SHPAML, I have no problem with all the negative comments about lightweight syntax abstractions, as I've seen all the same arguments written against HAML. Most of the critics of SHPAML have probably never actually used it, nor do I expect them to if they don't share the same pain points as I do. Nowhere do I make any claims that SHPAML is going to cure all problems. It does make producing HTML easier for me.
