I really think it's not gonna change my opinion.

Although kept warm in a thermos or similar is possibly slightly less foul
than kept warm on a burner.

You are further proving your ignorance of microwave cooking. Nobody
suggested that a microwave oven is appropriate for cooking every
possible dish, such a claim would be as absurd as saying that a
conventional oven is appropriate for every possible dish or your
apparent claim that a microwave is not appropriate for any cooking.

Microwave ovens are indispensable tools for any serious competent cook,
often used in combination with other cooking techniques for a single
dish. The bakery I deal with certainly has a microwave and uses it
frequently for melting chocolate, butter, and many other tasks, they
also have a killer German convection oven for their actual baking.
Microwave ovens also work very well for the entire cooking process for
some foods.

I'm still of the opinion that very little serious cooking is done in
fondue pots. There are always exceptions, however it seems the foodie
world has not really adopted the fondue pot as a first-line cooking
method. (Try some deep fried non-breaded well-dried brocolli the next
time you have a hot oil fondue!).

Yup. Folks tend to view the nuke as a specialty tool. Yet there it is
in a vast number of kitchens. It's a more popular specialty tool than
the fondue pot but it does remain a specialty tool.

I've seen the microwave used in plenty of restaurants. It heats food up

You've actually tried it? IMO, it's just as good as fresh.

I don't fry, even in fondue pots. However, I used to include blanched
broccoli on the platter of things to dip into cheese fondue.

Bingo.

Yeah, it's the best way to cook broccoli! LOL

Microwaves are the best way to cook most any vegetable that you were
going to boil or steam... excellent for heating and reheating most any
food.... and of course other than in the mouth there's no better way
to melt chocolate, or butter with your broccoli.

That's because you're afflicted with TIAD... coffee deteriorates
rapidly no matter how kept warm... in fact coffee keeps best longest
iced... a vacuum bottle is a great way to keep iced coffee.

No doubt it is used in places where they want to heat things up. I once
has Spanakopita in a Greek restaurant where the frozen food was thawed
and heated up in a microwave. It was the worst spanakopita I ever had.
