I dislike Gruber. I dislike him because I don't think his content is worthwhile. I dislike him because I find his content INCREDIBLY biased. I dislike him because he applies fanboyism and tries to pass it off as objective criticism.
And to be perfectly honest, I dislike him MORE because of how many people are huge fans of his. I don't find him notable or worthwhile and so the excess exposure just heightens my distaste. It's not logical, but it's true.
...and tries to pass it off as objective criticism.
There's a lot of biased individuals on the internet who post in rational drag every day. What's amazing about Gruber is how he wears his biases on his sleeve and people still claim he's trying to hide them.
I think Gruber frequently presents biased statements or opinions as facts (e.g. his rant about fonts on Android devices being unreadable was just strange) but if you take his name off this piece and read it objectively then he's actually making reasonable arguments against Mossberg's article. I don't mind this piece as much as some of his other stuff.
