Was it a lengthy conversation where you needed context from earlier posts?
Was is easily at hand right in your email client?
That's exactly my point. The advantages listed are mere stated opinions. Except
editing and community moderation which are actual features.
Writing this off as me being hostile to change is not only wrong but also rather snarky.
Did you intend that?
Every time discourse is brought up it seems that anyone asking what will be better over
maillinglists are accused of being hostile to change, this time is not different.
I didn't mention you, I simply stated that there are people who are hostile and
resistant to change. That is a fact... you only need do a simple google search every time
there is a change and some people always complain. In fact, the recent changes to Firefox
extensions come to mind. You had people angrily say they would ditch Fx, etc. etc. etc.
Such tactics are IMO not constructive.
The best way to solve this is to create a duplicate discussion group on Discourse for
Development and monitor it's use. The only way people are going to be able to decide
if it's good for them or not is to try it.
