#2It's possible to learn from other people. And better tools do make your life better, even when "nothing was wrong" with the old tools. While you shouldn't try to upset people, negative feedback is valuable. I don't think this is the way forward.

#6People sometimes give you funny faces when you tell them that you use „old and „outdated ones (e.g. Mercurial, Less, PHP).
This is so true. I've seen people refuse to take web dev classes in PHP and wait for availability of Java/Python classes (and not doing anything in the interim). I've seen people from marketing, sales, recruitment etc (who've never written code) put down PHP. It gets a little annoying at times.

The idea of Mercurial being considered old and outdated is particularly baffling.

#8> The majority of the developers are just too arrogant to look beyond their one nose.
That is an awesome choice of words, really. Just reading it makes me hopeful for the future.

To be fair, PHP is kinda dangerous, especially in the hands of novices. Honestly, a world with fewer people-who've-never-written-code writing PHP doesn't sound like a bad start to me.
Don't get me wrong, it's possible to write great code in PHP, it's just a language that makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot.
