The difference isn't in what's best, but in what people are willing to
accept. Just because people roll over and accept the latest Windows,
the latest Mac OS, the latest PhotoShop, the latest Gmail, the latest
whatever else, doesn't mean that (a) they actually like it, nor (b)
it's actually better. (Which are independent.)

When someone spends all their life in a single app, they're more
likely to learn its particular way of doing things and assume that
that's "correct". But that doesn't make it so.
