Opinion: Do We Need Size-Specific Chainstays?
@onawalk: Ok, maybe I should have said the inverse of the quote in the article instead of the word "right"; "And the benefit of longer chain stays...etc". Aside from the semantics of the one word, the rest of reasoning is objectively true. I'm also talking in the context of climbing. The pro's you reference are in the context of DH, so I'm not sure of your point other than arguing that I used "right" vs. "longer" (pointless detail?). No sh*t a pro will destroy a non pro.
Sure, agreed people are adaptable. They adapt to short stays on steep climbs by "adapting" into a "eat the handlebar" position. I'd prefer to obsess with my "pointless details" that are an objective cause for an adaptation I don't need to make on my person and leverage the available variety that you're touting so my bike is more comfortable to ride.
I'm also pretty sure one of the main points of the article is that there isn't much effective variety in chain stay length out there when you look at the actual different ratio deltas between sizes.
Also; "it's", not "its". Sorry, but details matter.

Opinion: Do We Need Size-Specific Chainstays?
"But the main drawback people notice with long chainstays is that they make it harder to manual."
And benefit for right sized chainstays is a more comfortable riding position on steep, technical terrain. A well balanced front:rear center ratio means you won't loop out AND you don't have to eat your handlebar when climbing. This is probably why you don't see stack grow proportionally with reach on larger sizes, especially when stay length doesn't increase significantly, or at all. If it did, the rider's weight would be shifted even further back while climbing in a neutral position, requiring the "eat the handlebar" position on lower grades.
