Yes, being.
I don't know if Lennart writes great code (doesn't seem like that 
though) but what I can see is that he never asks what people need. He 
forces his self-righteous software upon us as a sole alternative. 
Instead of first creating (at least talking over) protocols which are 
(no need to explain why) better, he creates a proggy which aims to be 
all-powerful all-solving (including adobe flash's bugs) and probably to 
conquer all the world.
I don't know again. That's the impression. Maybe there's one who knows 
better. But AFAICT all (really) great software talks protocols and 
standards. In Lennart's works, I don't see any.
And that said, yes, I'm being forced. Gradually it all goes for us all 
to have to have his works installed everywhere. Someone's justifying 
this by "the needs of 1% users", the other one by "the ease to maintain 
one library instead of a lot", the next one by it being brand new -- 
regardless. It's kinda mass psychosis. Whatever you say if not "it's 
great", you get: "oh, again you with your criticism of lennart"? "I have 
*** installed and it works, and you are kinda dumb yourself" etc.
It doubtlessly greatly assists in inclining my point of view towards 
installing lennart's stuff, yeah.
