This discussion is starting to remind me of when people learn Haskell...

Newbies go "Man, Haskell sucks! Why the hell is it to hard to create 
global variables that I can actually write to?"

And the Haskell experts go "Man, WHY THE HELL would you want to do such 
a thing? Global variables are EVIL!"

And after a few iterations of this, it turns out that the newbie is 
trying to perform a task which Haskell can do in a way that's 500x 
easier than the way they're trying to do it, because they're used to 
doing it the "normal" way...
