There are reasons why not that many programmers “get it”, and it’s not because the others are uninformed. It’s a matter of valuing different things.

Hmm, that'd be weird, how do you know you "value something different" if you haven't "got it"? You'd need to "get it" first, then you can understand if you value something different or not, otherwise how would you know?

The usual insinuation is that if you don’t like it, you “just don’t get it”. I meant not “getting it” in that sense.

Absolutely! But it’s also because they don’t really understand one of the things. It’s the Blub Paradox.
