They are very loud on fourms like AppleInsider and very indignant, hateful, and dismissive.
This is pretty much the sentiment I expressed in another thread, albeit somewhat more diplomatically. I think the issue is that the more "technically inclined" folks have a problem imagining a market segment that doesn't want all the same features and hardware that they want. There are plenty of people out there who have specific, limited daily uses for computers. I think Apple has gone a long way towards identifying the core, most of the time uses of many people and they bundled that feature set into a device that is very intuitive, very snappy, and that has a good form factor.
While its obvious that one size does not fit all in the Tech world, Apple has found a one size fits many solution.
