I didnt really mean they are being “oker halacha”
However as you correctly point out “snd as long as it’s conceivable to be toleh sitting in the sukkah on it being pleasant, we do so”
Obviously there is an element of subjectivity there. But to me it doent seem conceivable to be toleh sitting in the sukkah on it being pleasant, it is obvious that by sitting in the sukkah you are announcing “today might be chol” no less than shuckling lulav would. From Tosfos and other Rishonim this was vclearly not the case in their day/locale. However in 21st century new york I have never seen people sitting outdoors for a meal in late October.
I dont really mean those who do what the shukachan aruch says are “oker halacha” I am sure they caim it is conceivable, and given that the stimas of shulchan Aruch does say that way, Of course you have what to rely on.
Thanks for the nitei gavriel. I actually flipped through it over Shabbos most interesting was the end of the tesuvah where he lists those who didnt eat and the (much longer list of ) those who did, I was surprised to see many chasidish rebbes among those who ate in the sukkah including satmar, pupa and munkatch.

“And as MDG pointed out, if we were to celebrate anything, it should be the end of the war, not the beginning..”
As i pointed out, this is incorrect since the battles against Yevanim did not end with Chanukah
