> Yes, complaining is useful to get people to listen. Microsoft is listening, so continuing to complain doesn’t do anything except perpetuate an attitude that I would rather not have in Web development.

That makes no sense. He says that complaining made MS listen but then he says to stop complaining because it creates a bad atmosphere...

It makes perfect sense providing you:

1. Believe that the complaining was to effect change

2. Believe that that change has been effected due to Microsoft's actions in trying to kill off IE6.

(This seems to be the position he is taking based on my reading)

If you agree with the above then further complaining serves no purpose except to vent your frustrations which is his main point.

Of course if you do not agree with the above then that is fine, but saying "makes no sense" is a tadge harsh.
