I think the larger point there is "does any of that matter"? I don't think it does. It's possible to be a lazy programmer and a lazy designer and still be entirely successful. Understandable that it irritates programmers and designers, but it's a fact of life.
I completely agree :) There's a portion of this that is tongue in cheek, and I doubt we will actually change Framey (our own site which uses Lobster in the logo) at this point.
Really, I just wanted to raise it in people's consciousness so it's a consideration when you're choosing the font for your next project.
I think we're right at the threshold where powerusers (and tech blog authors) will start seeing Lobster and think "Ah. generic startup font. This was thrown together in a weekend."
Sometimes that's just fine, but it's not always what you want your wordmark to communicate.
Exactly - your customers might care if you use Comic Sans ('ew, why is this site so ugly?') but probably won't if you use Lobster or, say, Twitter Bootstrap well - even if you might be lazy.
