Was outside the last few hours battling autumn leaves in my yard. My neighbor across the street was doing the same thing.
While neither of us are truly "DIR" he had a gas-powered back-mount leaf blower that was minimalist in nature while I used a Sears Craftsman 2 speed electric blower. While his has a higher flow rate, I was unable to outbreathe either one, and there was less heat and vibration on the electric model. I got mine used at another neighbors yard sale even though Home Depot strongly recommended a new one.
He had a short hose that made it difficult for me to use while he was wearing the backback and we found 2 trees that we couldn't fit through sharing his rig.
Both rigs have advantages and disadvantages. Ease of starting, less maintenance and quieter for the electric, higher mobility and able to use during blackouts for the gas model. Danger of electrocution with the electric and highly flammable gasoline on your back with the gas model. We both had rakes as backups, I prefer metal over the new plastic ones.
I asked if his rig was 2 or 4 stroke and he got somewhat offended and remarked that he was blowing leaves when I was in diapers, which I kinda doubt being 4 years older than he is and haven't worn diapers for months now since I installed a pee valve on my favorite jeans.
I plan to get a longer extension cord for mine, with the cord around my neck it got a little tight at the far corner of my property. The cord has the added benefit of helping me find my way back to the garage in low visibility. The wind can be unpredictable and many leaf blowers in this area have been swept away. Luckily most get rescued only hours later by their wives after being found in bars not too far away.
I believe bagging vs. mulching was covered in another thread.

Too funny.

All I can say is that the amount of incendiary comments on both sides of the fence, which I quickly found Googling, have done nothing to promote DIR principles.

I think this sums it up nicely.

If somebody called me a stroke, I'd just say... "I know you are, but what am I ?"
Good leaf blower analogy, but have you thought about just chopping down all your trees ?

What's a stroke ?

I don't know what a "stroke" is. I do know that the Monterey coast, in the fall, is some very fine diving.
