Yes.
I am highly-resistant to flavour of the<time period>.
Ant has been widely used for over a decade!
I was discussing the general case. I have seen too many cases of
"This is the greatest tool since ..." and when I try it, it fails on
very simple cases of mine.
Well the thread was about build tools.
And the argument were to use ant.
I don't think anyone has claimed a need to learn any tool under
the SUN.
Of course not. Everyone and his dog says to use his tool. The
collective of all that yammering is one should use every tool under
the sun.

The point people were trying to make is that you will not look
good at the Java job market if you don't know ant - especially
not with arguments like some of those posted here.
To your first sentence: Yes, I understand that not knowing
certain things can have an effect on getting jobs, but to judge
someone totally or substantially on whether he knows one particular
tool goes way too far.
To your second sentence: Nice smear.
