Bokeh has been a hot topic off and on even before it had a name. It is a tool that can be used to effect. In general if some one notices the background then it is bad Bokeh and if they only see the main subject of the scene it is good Bokeh.

It is ALL subjective... and most of the viewing audience for photography do not go to the museum or gallery and comment on bokeh.

Most of photography is subjective.

Exactly but I don’t confuse photography with technical concerns ...

However, Bokeh is not a technical concept - it is an aesthetic concept which.

Well it is both. It can be an aesthetic concept, but talking about bokeh instead of the actual content in a photo is certainly technical. It’s a lens attribute.
