I don't see why anyone should be downvoted for expressing his or her own consclusions that draw on personal and practical experience of using both languages. The comment is not inflamatory and it merely reflects your own experience. Perfecly valid.
At some point I read somewhere that the whole point of upvote and downvote on Reddit was for “contributed to conversation” (upvote) or doesn’t (downvote).
That, to me, makes sense.
Disagreeing is part of what promotes good, challenging discussions. It also buffers us from external influences controlling the crowd of “agree’ers”. By promoting and encouraging differences of opinion or view, we make it harder for someone to come in and sway the crowd.
btw, our little subthread here is off topic and may be downvoted for that. (rightfully as we aren't contributing to the actual topic)
