You are swayed primarily by popularity. 

You too. Even if you do it the other way around, it's exactly the same
principle.

Pffffffft!

Exactly.

FYI, GNU/Linux/FOSS is not a popularity contest.

Agreed. You should remember that when you criticize a too popular
software.

GNU/Linux/FOSS offers many capabilities from which the informed user
may choose.

Yes. And the popularity is a something to take into account. Because
using a software well spread has several advantages. Like, you'll be
more likely to find help if you need it. Or, like if a lot of users find
it good, it's more likely to be useful to you. And it will be more
likely to have more features/support in the long run.

If you don't want/need it then shut the fuck up.

You should remember that, too, each time you brag about a software.
