Yup. Developers writing about small performance differences between JavaScript frameworks, or the antics of this language over that one. It's gotten to the point where people are actually choosing friends and enemies over what framework they use, what programming language they prefer, or what tools they like.

It's becoming a bit counterproductive. I wrote a post about this because of how often I've come across it that's worth reading: http://room4debate.com/debate/tech-stacks-frameworks-languag....

I think context is important. What was the context back then vs. today? I would argue that what the author is saying about business environment changing so quickly, especially because of technological advances, makes sense. It might not have made sense back then, but today it probably makes a lot more sense.
