I could not care less. The post is well-written, and makes a case. You can criticize his case, or even the facts he mentions or you could ignore them, but calling him a troll is totally unproductive (essentially it means: "his arguments are BS because he is a bad person, but I won't say what's specifically bad about them").
I also find that (to keep with Sturgeon's Law perhaps) 90% of uses of the accusation "troll" are misuses, mostly translating too "the guy makes arguments we don't like, and he won't go away".
Also, to everyone: he doesn't say that installing Haskell takes too days. He says it took 2 days to HIM --and AT THE TIME. Perhaps he wasn't using the all-too-might distribution you are using where it's one apt-get away...
