Or because they're just trolling.
I bet you believe Boost is "cool".
Belief is for theology, not programming. I know it provides some
extremely useful features, well documented, thoroughly tested on a
variety of platforms, together with reasoned arguments for why things
are done one way and not another.
Feel free to provide reasoned on-topic arguments to support your own
beliefs, and what you'd offer as an alternative to Boost.
