Err.... so what?

If you can't poke fun at something once in awhile, then you've reached the stage where you should, for your own sanity's sake, walk away from it.

Read the kernel.org mailing lists sometime... the flamewars in there are hellish, and yet funny as hell at times (esp. those where Linus Torvalds gets involved... how many other top-end computer industry architects will actually --and literally- say that someone or something is "full of shit"?) These guys write the actual Linux kernel, yet sometimes they attack their own baby with a ferocity that would make Steve Ballmer (the guy who runs Microsoft) blush and avert his gaze in shame.

I spent a bit of time in the bowels of DAZ|Studio's codebase. OTOH, I (at least nowadays) can happily tell you its shortcomings, and freely describe the thing for what it is (at least as I see it). It's a sign of a healthy skepticism. If one can make those observations funny as well, then more power to 'em.

The old phrase 'That which does not kill me...' applies to software packages and communities as well as people. ;)

We now return you to the impassioned defense of near-naked cross-eyed bimbos waving heavy medieval weaponry in alleged sacred spaces...
