Disrespect for people perceived as inferior because of limited knowledge in one field. Those elitists totally ignore that the newbie asking stupid questions about a Linux app could be the heart surgeon who one day saves their mommy's life.
what a stupid misunderstanding and interpolation of it! Very few software is so accessible than suckless to anyone who wishes to use and fully understand it. Reading a source of 2000 lines is a comprehensible size indeed and there's no barrier. Quite the contrary: helpful manpages, web-browsable file trees and comments in the sources, mailinglist archives, tons of reviews in blogs and youtube, irc.
"This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions."
From Wikipedia's definition of Eugenics:
"Eugenics is a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population, historically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior or promoting those judged to be superior."
