Two of those are subjective and I'll ignore. But it is educational, it links to alternatives to 37 signals products.

>I can't really think of anything 37signals has done to warrant this

The company and its reputation was built on aggressively bad-mouthing and trash-talking anyone and everyone they could. Remember when rails started out? Anyone who dared to like something other than their framework was an idiot (at best).
