Comment on What do y'all think about mailing lists and IRC as sole communication channels?

it wouldn’t surprise me if the majority of those who like those 2 technologies were 40+, maybe even 50+.

I don’t think it should surprise anyone if people with more experience and skills were more comfortable with simple tools than the rest of us. They’ve had more time to find good workflows for those tools, after all.

It might be more interesting to ask why people prefer any one comms method over another. For example, do they like irc/email because they’re old dogs who can’t learn new tricks, or because those are open systems that can’t be taken over by some greedy corporation?
