Then it’s good that my goal is not to endear myself to anyone here. Flippantly dismissing certain technologies and engaging in “just”isms needs to be called out because it’s not productive or helpful. Moreover, I think it’s funny that the same kinds of posts are being made in 2018 as were made in 2007 (i.e. “why don’t you just...”), considering they have nothing to do with Dropbox saving money by migrating away from AWS. Really, it’s not germane at all. Perhaps if the source were an article about open source alternatives to Dropbox.

I agree that hashkb's comment was flippant and unhelpful, but your reply was not any better and was the one that went off-topic.
