Now that I'm less angry:
Sure, there are edge cases where the hardcore equipment and techniques shine. I also appreciate the work of the folks who move the bleeding edge forward. Again, some cases where that's all that will work.
Where I draw a hard line is the idea that everybody needs the hardcore stuff for everything. That's both wasteful and counterproductive, because it means so many people and orgs GIVE UP ENTIRELY who needn't.
