Quick and honest question: are you the author? You respond to lots of comments in the name of author, that's a rather surprising level of care about a niche piece of software.

Is that a good or a bad thing to do?

Posting comments in favor of a service without disclosing your’re its author is usually seen as a conflict of interest and, as such, a bad thing.

Not sure why, since it isn't in any practical or philosophical sense.

I judge the merits of a post by the content. I don't know if you're Celebrity X or Author of Y and I don't care much. Yes it would be useful to reference other statements, but that's something you often sacrifice in an open (even moderated) online forum. It's a strength of the platform as well.
