Yes, they're obviously opinions. I wouldn't use phrasing like that if I
wasn't trying to demonstrate my strong opinion on the matter.
I only raised some details that are annoying me, I didn't say I had any
science to show it was a majority opinion. I'm not sure why that's
necessary to make an opinion oriented post.
A large part of the reason for posting in the first place is to find if/how
many people also feel that way. That's the nature of opinions, I don't know
what other peoples are until I talk about it.

Well, I firmly stand by all those convictions. They also look worse out of
context.
I don't think switch is particularly good, and firmly believe C's switch
statement was (is) a design catastrophe. I've believed that for 20 years.
You're welcome to disagree, and tell me why you do. I might even change my
opinion if someone can convince me it's awesome the way it is for some
reason.
I've spent 3 days basically writing switch statements. I haven't enjoyed
it, and I feel the experience is a big missed opportunity.
