So basically "I don't use X because I don't want to learn the complex parts of it", not saying it's not a valid reason, but dont't try to make it seem like "I don't use X because the complex parts of it are really hard to use"

Nope, i don't use X because i don't want to. I don't need more reasons and you neither, it is a valid reason. I know that sometimes it's hard to respect others decisions about software choice, our community is full of rage and anger, but if you try, you will be happier and you will learn faster.

As I said, thats a perfectly fine reason. In the original comment it sounded like its the type systems fault for beeing complex, maybe I'm so tired I'm interpreting the meaning of the message wrong, maybe it wasn't that. I wasn't trying to like start a fight or anything (sorry if my message was worded like that was the case), I just pointed out I don't agree with the way you categorise complex types as a waste of time
