Why is PowerPC the most hated architecture?

Hello,


I came across some very nasty and disparaging comments on some of the other mac tech forums and one of them was by someone who has a pure hatred of PowerPC based systems and those that still use the architecture. I just want to know how can someone hate an architecture just because of the name? Why do people continue to harp on bashing PowerPC processors? Where is the logic?


True, Apple did also bash Intel in the beginning, and now Apple embraces Intel but also we see a hatred of PowerPC going on there as well. I don't get it. Can someone enlighten me as to why someone would have such powerful and vehement hatred towards that architecture? I find nothing wrong with it, and yet I own three PowerPC machines and an Intel mac Pro.. of which I use the G4 PB and my G5 Quad more than the Mac Pro.


I just want an answer from someone on here. Why hate something that has never did any harm to anyone or anything?
