Yeah, there is this feeling of a weird cult movement from them where daring to not use Sync or criticize anything about it is seen as an affront. I could understand the reaction if this was posted on the Sync community. They leap to accusations of you must not pay for anything you cheapskate as opposed to not understanding that some just don't support the current model, so don't use the product.
There's lot of products that are better than alternatives, but people choose to not use for whatever reasons. Like dare I say it...reddit still when it comes to niche communities.
