For instance. Being a fanboy who refuses to accept that the F-35 may be weak in a certain role is NOT going to have ANY effect on future orders of the aircraft.

Ahh. OK. Why not just spell it properly as "Fanboy"? At any rate, what does pointing out the inherent strengths of the F-35 have to do with being a so called "Fanboy"? I don't refuse to see any weaknesses, as every weapons system has drawbacks somewhere. I just see that some of the technologies proven in F-22 design for air-to-air will also be incorporated into F-35 as well. This includes weapons, sensors, countermeasures, radar and IR stealth which are all revolutionary by design. This jet will also have high thrust to weight characteristics combined with a maneuvarable airframe. I haven't seen anything credible to show any bigtime deficiencies in capabilities. Nor do I believe Su-35 will pose any large true threat on the F-35 and it's operations once it is in it's true air-to-air element.
