It's a matter of personal taste, so it does not need to be "well formed". These things are more religious questions than about rational arguments. As for numbers, no, I don't. All I have to go by is the number of people I know or have met that dislike it. And so I know it is polarizing, but beyond that it is guesswork. The point was not to claim that it is some massive proportion of developers, but to point out that decisions of taste are not inconsequential.
