This is the same elitist attitude that continually hurts amateur radio.
All the old pharts offended by SDR and digital. Not to mention the
seething rage when the FCC dropped the requirement for morse code.
We should be accomodating to newbies in the hobby, not trying to drum them
out with better than thou nonsense.

Ah, I???ll go out on a limb (BTW, ???hate??? is probably a bit strong), but
from my perspective it???s an old phart thing. The Arduino is so hyped up, it
reminds me of Harley Davidson motorcycle owners. They seem to think theirs is
the only one, the best, nearing cult status. On FleaBay they even advertise
things like capacitors as ???for Arduino??? just to get the hits. Yes, I???m an
old phart, and I still like to do things the hard way. To me, building a
project is, or at least should be, more than plugging in shields and loading
prepared libraries. I like to understand what I build, and put it all together
myself. I still use assembly language for smaller projects. Since the nixie
community is very much about old technology I assume there are probably a few
more who feel that way.
But each to his / her own??????..
