Oh, pshaw. I can despise both at the same time, thank you very much.
"People that dislike X must think Y" is reductive and divisive.

He probably was blacklisted in some way and his recent complaints (which attracted a fair amount of attention here) probably led to dang et al reconsidering.
I can’t imagine there are a lot of Stallman-types here. After all, HN is the discussion forum for Y Combinator, a startup accelerator and VC group.

#37I for one am pumped about this. I hate the styling of notes, but love every other aspect of it.

#39I cannot understand how Apple notes works sometimes.
For instance, sometimes after indenting a line I cannot un-indent on future lines. Just fighting the tool.
Stuff like this really makes me dislike it. I find syntax highlighting with markdown preferable than a WYSIWYG rich text editor. I get why people who don't know markdown prefer it, but the advantages diminish significantly if you know markdown.
