He used to go by who_cares973, and has files in numerous packs. Can't say I've ever seen a pack of his stuff though!

I'm actually legit offended by this post, not gonna lie. I'll give up trying to write up an argument about how frustrating that post is, and will just agree with GD by also adding that I managed to get into D5 by playing files I actually have fun playing. I didn't have to subject myself to playing files that are only hard to be hard.
I'll never get behind that mentality. You can step all the generic-ass jumpstream you want, icy. I won't play it, but you won't see me give you shit about it. I'd expect you to do the same to those who try to craft more meaningful simfiles. There's room for both.

i'll refrain from perpetuating anything further, thank you all have a good day.
Yall take this arrow tapping stuff 3seriously
Can't we all just jumpstream along ;_;
I mean at the end of the day, ur all casuals for not playing negative reverse -2.0x rate songs using a custom modded backwards scrolling anyways, so...
I like smashing my keyboard both in accurate rhythm but also to mass jumpstream files, idk both are fun. This little rivalry comes up once in awhile and it's just so counterproductive to creativity in our small scene. I'll reiterate what I've said before, both can coexist, and if you don't like one style there is nothing forcing you to play or step in it.

This isn't about play styles; this is about making simfiles and the time and work invested into creating them.

There has always been some kind of stigma against non-JS files, and I was told that it's simply because people can't be bothered to score well on them. It is easier to make measured improvements on straightforward JS files. And as such, those files are quite often what is advertised more by way of posting scores, making packs exclusive to JS, etc.

There's definitely some irony here, is it the constant 16th jumpstream that's truly difficult to master, or unusual and challenging rhythms in a file like Ame Kooshi no Tokei from UEMP that are hard to master? If people are ignoring shooting for scores on these files in favor of JS, then I wonder if you end up with a more limited skillset in the end.

Yes you do, but people will play what they want at the expense of being less well-rounded. That's how it is.
It's about scoring consistently. If less straightforward files tend to trip players more often, they feel less inclined to play it (and much less likely to post scores for said files), though I would've hope it'd give them the motivation to improve upon them. Not to mention, JS files are popularized by well-regarded players on their streams.
I don't find the scenario particularly fair, but I'm also not surprised. I'd say it's a similar scenario to how well-crafted, difficult levels on Mario Maker never make it to the top of the most-played list.
A stepper may get more of a kick in how he/she craft a file, whereas a player's motivation is fed upon his/her own sense of accomplishment in scoring. It just seems that colorful files do not usually feed a player's sense of accomplishment.
@Helblinde- I highly recommend you play packs that present a wide variety of files, not just JS.
