Everyone doesn't love Wing Chun. It's just that there is a high correlation between computer geeks and WC stylists. So on messages boards that are populated with computer geeks it seems like everyone rides the WC nut.

Why do so many people have this love affair with Wing Chun?

Not all WC'ers have a bad attitude, look at wingchunlawyer he crostrains in mauy thai and actively spars against people from other styles...... take a leaf out of his book
I didn't mean to sound like its the "deadly assassinate art of the east!!!" but really, competitions do limit all styles moves and when most of your hits involve places like the neck eyes and family jewels, then its harder to win

Look, I think that if you walk into a WC kwoon and there isn't a feel of brutality and physicality to it then you've got the wrong kwoon. The sort of place where everyone is just standing around doing sil lim tao and chi sau will maybe give you technical looking WC but it won't prepare you for a live situation or ring/octagon fight etc.
Walk into kwoon like the one I train at, where it says Wing Chun Kung Fu out the front and once you get up the stairs and through the door you would probably see someone doing a form in front of the mirrors, a couple of guys sparring, some others mixing it up on the mat, another with a pair of mits on slamming the bag and round kicking the shit out of it and someone working the dummy.
And hey Ronin wooden dummys are the coolest, they just make me want to don orange robes, shave my head and burn incense.

Well the myth is that there were 108 wooden dummies in shaolin and to i suppose to "graduate" you had to go down the hall doing a different technique on each dummy, some where spring loaded etc. The WC wooden dummy is built to take all these techniques and there are 108 movements in the wooden dummy form.
