Wrong.
Ok then, if you're claiming that I'm wrong and a programmer *does* have a
legitimate excuse for not having a 7z-capable program, perhaps you could
state what that legitimate excuse is instead of merely being contradictory?
I think it's sheer statistics, as odd as that might sound. I quite enjoy
your rants, but after having seen a lot of them it seems to me (though I
may be quite wrong) that your opinions and preferences are a couple of
standard deviations away from the median. That is of course not bad. The
most entertaining part is that this comes bundled with the firm
conviction (or even unstated assumption) that everybody should hold, or
already holds, the same belief as yours.
There are some funny consequences to this. If something completely
pisses you off, it might actually be an indication we're doing something
right. And if you say something is perfect for you, that's almost always
a reason to worry.
