Judging by what I know about Torvalds, he's a pragmatist. Bases his decisions on technical requirements. Not sure if it's a surprise someone like him tries vibe coding? It'd align with my more fact-driven perspective on the world. I'd also try things and make up my mind. See myself if a tool / programming language / project can be of use for my particular wants and needs... I mean being sceptical about something doesn't necessarily exclude nor include anything.
