For what reasons would someone be "anti D-Star"?

D-STAR uses a proprietary codec, that means for anyone that doesn't
believe that amateur radio should use technology that forbids reverse
engineering and hence interoperability with homebrew designs it's
not acceptable.

It is rather curious, is it not, that it's often the same people who
are aggressively in favour of D-Star "because it is leading edge
technology", and yet are vociferous in their opposition to DAB
broadcasting "because it is no better than the existing analogue
systems".

Funny world.

Interesting analogy (pardon the pun) Walt.

DAB doesn't work for mobile use.

Neither does D-Star.
