Your interpretation of my words is terrible ;-) If someone gives advice
about using X, when X has serious shortcommings for the intended
purpose, discussing those shortcommings is quite relevant. If X is
mostly appropiate save for some minor details, mentioning those is just
a nice service for the user.

And no, it is not necessary to mention the bad ergonomics of Emacs'
keybindings whenever someone asks about how to configure Gnus for
reading e-mail.
