You already shown that you have a bit of a problem in basing your arguments 
and criticism on unfounded assumptions.  In this case, you even choosed to 
ignore that the example I gave was between "tool A" and "tool B", not make 
and ant, which certainly no one else had any trouble understanding that it 
was purely figurative.

I made no such claim. I would appreciate it if you stopped trying to pin on 
me these wild claims you are making up as you go along.

This is not nor it ever was the main point. Nor a side note, even.  You 
knack for making wild assumptions led you to make this stuff up.  If you 
have any doubt then simply point out exactly where anyone besides yourself 
ever mentioned anything remotely similar to that.

Frankly, that's what every single one of those blokes on the internet says.

As a warning, I should inform you that this was also a hyperbole.

By your reasoning, you should be using make as it is actually the standard 
in the real sense of the word.  ISO standard and all.  Instead, it appears 
you are hell-bent on criticising make.

Again with your unfounded assumptions and baseless accusations.  Can you 
point out exactly where anyone stated that they refused to learn how to use 
ant or even maven?  You can't, because no one, besides you with your wild 
imagination, ever said it. 

So, you either are a functional illiterate or a troll.  Either way, you are 
not helpful.  So, if you don't have anything helpful to add then go waste 
your time and your wild imagination elsewhere.
