I'm not saying that there's no good handcrafted bare browser code out there, and I guess some of the bad wasn't made without love at all. But I've just seen too much of the stuff that seems like it's still standing with half a leg in the age of internet explorer vs netscape, and that was perhaps crafted laboriously but certainly with more contempt than love to consider the loved stuff mow than a rare exception. I guess part of my gut reasoning goes like this: chances are the loved ones have been modernised three times over, while the contemptful implementations live on.

But I can't come up with any coffee analogy for that, there's just no mapping between those spaces that makes any sense.
