> creating a second bunch of events to do essentially the same as touch events would put undue pressure on web developers, since they would now have to code to two standards
He's talking about the fact that the devs that have problems with this are "clueless" and will be saved by someone else that does the hard part for them (write a unified interface)
I did not miss the context. I read the article. I was not objecting to his characterization of devs being clueless. There are lots of clueless devs in the world. In my experience it's >50% of devs.
What I objected to was the absurd claim that "most" clueless devs have "iFrenzy." When obviously in reality, there's clueless Apple fans and clueless Apple haters and clueless everyone in-between.
Making such a, frankly, stupid assertion undermined the entirety of his post.
