My comment could be totally out of place, but I had this feeling for a long time now: It seems like there is something "cool" about being Hanbali (in Fiqh or 'Aqidah) nowadays! And especially the Hanafi madhhab has an image of being "weak and old". Doeas anyone agree?

It's a nuanced technique to cast doubt in the minds for Hanafi Fiqh, as if its usool are taken out of someone's pocket and not from the four sources of Shari'ah.
