Apple is changing the way massive numbers of people use technology. For any revolution there's going to be some group of people who prefer the old way of doing things because they see the new way as some type of threat to what they're comfortable with. Personally I think these people are upset that the "coolness" factor of technology is no longer limited to technical bullet points and has expanded well past it's geeky roots. They really don't like technology being designed for a big mainstream audience because it weakens whatever part of their identity they have built around being a geek if anyone can walk into a store and buy something that is functional and get, basically, the same results as the geek who spends hours customizing a system to work <i>exactly</i> as they want it to. I think they feel left out when technology skips the geeky early adopter market.
