I'll have you know that vim is best, tabs are better than spaces, Vue is better than React, Microsoft - on balance - made the (tech) world a better place, everything should be full-stack js SPA's with server-side rendering, Prototype.js was better than jQuery, AI is only true AI when it is conscious, CSS-in-JS is an abomination, json needs to allow for comments and trailing commas, static typing is superior, Linus Torvalds should be nicer, microservices are the future, and significant whitespace is a good idea.
But we are not ending with this kind of discussions here (even when we do it is discussed like why vim is better, why MS is good/bad etc) thats the point.
Like if you show me some examples from top 100 today, that is splitting audience 50/50, I think would be better.
I was not being entirely serious, but my point was that even when we discuss tech we're often seriously split, and often over silly reasons.
And very often the resulting discussion doesn't really fare much better in finding agreement than non-tech discussions do. At least that's been my experience.

When I am outlier with my comments, I can see maybe I am missing something. I am learning something useful everyday.
