@jonmsterling i always suspect this is less about it actually being 'dead', and people being unaware that one can, indeed, step slightly outside of what is the current mainstream, and find useful tools with widespread support there, too. RSS is not dead, but its presence as a default-tech-giant-preinstalled-everywhere-app category is, and to some people that appears to be the same (?)

@stuebinm Tech people are so weird… I notice this effect too when people go to war to make one library more popular than another or something… Like, who cares?? Why does it matter if more or fewer people are using this ??? Or if you build something they are like, “OK but how are you going to get everyone to use this?" as if that is a requirement ??
