I don't think one should take obvious satire to seriously. There's not enough time in the day to point out details in posts that are written just for laughs.

However, just to be pedantic ( ;-) ), I'll have to point out that "a big part of the people defending VSCode in this post agree that X11 is slow" does not imply "a big part of the people agreeing that X11 is slow defend VSCode in this post". The two aren't commutative, since one set of people is quite likely much larger than the other.

Edit:

Oh, and since you mentioned working on Plasma for over a decade: Thank you for making awesome FOSS! :)

:) Fair enough. I am a bit less cranky after my morning coffee now ;). Thanks for the warm words!

I'd say you absolutely have to point out factual flaws in comedy. Comedy is truth, that's why you probably believe that David Cameron put his penis in a pig's mouth and Donald Trump was peed on by Russian prostitutes. There's no evidence, but it's funny so you believe it anyway.
