Opinion-based rants? No, ignorance-based rants, with a level of malevolence that doesn't appear in good faith.
From claiming that "if you make all header libraries you’ll have a lot of copied code – the binaries will be larger", to blaming IDEs for the opaqueness of Cmake and Autotools, from deploring namespaces because "the programmers will end up doing a using namespace" to comparing a trivial std::chrono::duration_cast code example from cppreference.com to a C# example that does much less, it's one of the worst pieces of FUD I've ever read.
The only valid point is C++ IDEs not being too good, but even that has deeper reasons than Visual Studio rightfully disliking incompatibly compiled libraries or "it sucks as an IDE".
