I see your point, but that's also the same argument peeps have against most of
what we are doing: "linux server? get with the times and get a real
windows 2003
server". "apache? get real, there is IIS" "openoffice? stupid" etc. etc.

with more of
an ease, many of todays advancement would never have happened.
