Some people are very happy with their Valve indexes and I'm not sure what your point is tbh. Do you want people to argue why they purchased a Valve index and enjoy it or something?

Some will say but you didn't try the index. That's true but I'm so thorough in studying reviews that it has been very rare when i bought a product that hasn't worked as expected.

I remember when the Vive Pro was all the rage and anyone who hadn't tried it apparently just didn't understand. But I had my suspicions that it wasn't the magical unicorn helmet that people across the Internet were selling it as.And then I did try it... only to become highly disappointed with the over-hype. In some ways the visuals were a slight step up from the Rift CV1, but in other ways it was a step down. And after trying it, all the months of online debate felt silly. The Vive Pro was not a product that was going to stand the test of time, it was just the "flavor of the week."And we can see the truth of that now, as Vive Pro praises are long gone. Those praises were replaced by the Pimax 8K which ended up becoming obsolete mighty fast! I mean gosh... the Pimax 8K was supposed to be the Killer HMD to destroy everyone: Microsoft WMR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive. And now it is selling in droves on E-Bay for $600 or less!When it comes to Valve Index, it seems to be a touchy subject on this Oculus Forum. I agree with everything you said, and I personally feel that the Index is just another "flavor of the week." Nearly every video review I've seen of the Index talks about both its pro's and con's, including the defective controllers. And nothing particularly stands out as "next gen" for the Index. But criticizing the Index is treated on par with unleashing Godzilla on nearby Tokyo.

I don't think anyone should be jealous. Jealousy is a bad thing in my opinion anyways. I've never been jealous of anyone that owns a better PC or better car then me etc. I don't think that's how people should live their lives. It serves no purpose!
Their are two kinds of jealousy 1st type you have disdain for someone or something that someone has or something you can't have. And 2nd type is constructive jealousy. You are envious of something but hope things improve to help you obtain what your jealous about in the future. Example I was in real estate sales before I retired and I was jealous of the people that were successful. But it was constructive jealousy I didn't dislike successful people. I was young and said I'll work hard to be more like them. Some of them even advised me.that led to my success. Anyway I got a bot off point a bit. In this case I was jealous of the product until it turned out not to be what I thought and hoped it would be not of the people that were going to buy it.
