It's axiomatic that a cub of any variety is cooler, smarter and more fun than a spamcan. The fact of what the spamcan can or cannot do is irrelevant, how reliable it is, how long its been around yadda, yadda, yadda, yawn!
If you fly nothing but boring tricycle spamcans, live with it and keep flying them. No point arguing that they're in any way equivalent to, or as worthy as, superior airframes and especially no point in taking umbrage. Just makes you look geeky and humourless and who wants that?

QDM. You appear to have completely misread the above. There's no taking umbrage, not arguing they are equivalent, not arguing they are as worthy as, there's no debate, just trying to understand why spamcans are an insult.

BTW who says I only fly spamcans?
