But my post did actually conclude the cases where it's useful. It seems like a lot of people here only read the first half of the post and stopped.

I don't think `const` should be removed. I just don't think we should lead with it. I'm not sure why that's not coming across except for the fact that the post isn't being read.

Hmmm I think maybe your tone comes across stronger than you mean it then.

Because, while you do say that, it comes across as a sort of "meh, it's not totally useless but I still hate it" kind of thing at the end.

Especially as you spent the last... like 2000 words trashing it.
