People Now Mocking DX9?

Why do poeple have to mock something so badly when something new comes out?

This website compared DX9 with DX10 (DX3D10), and I am so shocked that they
went with the fat guy that is nooooooo way uses all the Shader Model 1.0
capabilities, let along SM3.0. This is more like DX8 graphics. That guy
looks like Fat Bastard in Austin Powers tho.

I remember when DX9 first came out 4 years ago ppl mocked DX8 for their "low
precision", "coarse graphics", etc, but at least it was true. But now it's
not so with DX10 v DX9. The improvements are no so noticeable this round.
DX10 has got more under-the-hood improvements than "precision improvements"

DX9 can render very closely to those in the DX10 version, if not exactly. If
you put the GPU's performance bottleneck aside, DX9 (SM1.0 - SM3.0) is very
capable of rendering virtually everything DX10 can dish out, but just less
efficiently. The point is they just make it look like DX9 is so worthless
when it's NOT.
