It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It probably also depends on the type of chain. I run KMC EPT chains which are corrosion-resistant. I think regular Shimano chains are also corrosion-reistant. Higher end chains that look shiny have rusted on my bike when I used to use teflon dry lube. I haven't seen rust on my waxed EPT chains yet. They have been wet. I haven't dried them up. With that said I haven't ridden them in rain extensively.
Belt would be less maintenance than that for sure. I just think that for a chain user, an EPT chain with wax can significantly reduce it and provide the cleanliness benefit too. Def not the same, but if you already have a chain drive... ๐
I've been thinking of switching to a waxed chain for a while now, KMC makes good chains in general though.
If you have some money burning a small hole in your pocket, try it. Worst case you're back to chain lubrication.
