I'd doubt that this dev or many of the others have ever used Automatix. They just apply the pack mentality rule when looking at Automatix and believe one misinformation after the other. Many of their beliefs are based on experiences of when Automatix was in early development and like all pieces of software it had issues which have long been resolved. Sadly the Devs line on Automatix has slowly filtered down to the Ubuntuforums staff as well since it went official.

Automatix is just another option in an open source world. This collective brutality and ignorance against it will not make it go away. The more you push, the more its lead Devs take strength. I fully agree that this endless flaming (often personal) has to stop. Let everyone get on with what they do well and enjoy the fruits of their work if it suits you. I thought we were all about choice
