    Well, if you're an idiot then yeah, you may need a dummy that's smarter than you to tell you what's happening.

    But for those of us with functional eyes and functional brains that can process the images those eyes receive, yeah, we don't need a parser to know if we're doing things correctly.

    Parsers just put the information in a more readable format.
    That's as maybe, but they're still third party software that's still against the ToS. And here's hoping they stay that way.

    its always funny to me how the anti-parser crowd plays the "toxic elitist community" card but is always the first to spew condescending stuff like this lol

    ...Really? I'm not saying it's needed, but it's additional information. More informed decisions are always more informed, just tautologically.

    They're against the ToS because allowing 3rd party programs (which are not developed by SE, so they have no control over what goes into them) would mean opening up a lot of loopholes for abuse -- not because using them is inherently bad.

    That's why YoshiP didn't flat out say "No, they're bad"
