I think I can be cool-headed about it, because here in Finland there's less stigma attached to lower-class dialects (though I'm not saying they are neutral). I think it's probably because the elite here used to speak Finnish, so it was more of a case of Finnish vs. Swedish instead of one dialect of Finnish vs. another.
