Well, I firmly stand by all those convictions. They also look worse out of context. I don't think switch is particularly good, and firmly believe C's switch statement was (is) a design catastrophe. I've believed that for 20 years. You're welcome to disagree, and tell me why you do. I might even change my opinion if someone can convince me it's awesome the way it is for some reason. I've spent 3 days basically writing switch statements. I haven't enjoyed it, and I feel the experience is a big missed opportunity.
Having strong convictions is good, but strong reactions to them come with the territory :-)
