>I don't see people arguing over hammers
I don't think the analogy makes sense here. Unlike programming languages, there's little operational difference between one brand of hammer and another. Maybe brand X is known to last longer than brand Y, but they will still be more or less identical in daily use (aim, swing, get thumb out of way).
