Translation: "people who do not agree with me"

Alternative translation: "people who have had repeated experience of seeing
problems from the software concerned, and wasted hours trying to help fix
the issues for someone else, before discovering from them that ' Oh, by the
way, I used Automatix'"

Speaking of closed-mindedness, you might find the thread
linked below entertaining, and it might open your mind to new perceptions.

It starts here:

For a flavour of the kind of obtusely arrogant and frankly crazy reactions
that make for bad public relations, try in particular this post:

The follow-ups are entertaining as well...

Actually, thank goodness, Automatix has become largely irrelevant, with the
changes in Feisty and Gutsy...
