Actually, I have more trouble with the non-humorous X vs. Y articles. At least this one tried to be funny (successfully or unsuccessfully). Worse are the myriad posts that say "Here is why my technology is good and yours is bad."
Unfortunately, even humor doesn't play well on the internet when it is seen as criticism. "5 joking reasons why your technology sucks" brings the trolls out in full force.
