Although I never tried other switches because im broke asf and don't see it necessary for me, I think I would have the same conclusion too and think the difference is the sound(not on cheap boards but on more expensive or 'complex' bodies like gaskets, foam, and etc,.)

My guess is that some hate it because they think Anime is for people who are immature (or worse analogy, for "children"). I guess they hate something that doesn't make them look like a "man".
