While I'm not unsympathetic to your point, try to see things from 
Manu's position.  Every time I've seen him bring up an issue that 
he has experienced in reality, he's been told, variously:
a) You're doing it wrong
b) Your problem isn't real
c) Your use case doesn't exist
d) We don't need theoretical solutions
e) The things you want are niche and pointless

...and so on.

Despite this, he's persisted in trying to raise awareness and 
support for close-to-the-metal performance and control for 
_years_.  And then this thread happens after he was burned (yet 
again!) by the tooling and the "foolish" expectation that things 
would work as advertised in a situation where he lost face with 
his peers.

Can you really blame him for being frustrated?
