Not surprising. I think this is a good stat for open mindedness -- it's simply wise to personally use the best products out there. It blows my mind when I see companies have a dogma that everything they do is the absolute best. While it is a good thing to believe in your products, it is another thing to be dogmatic in extreme ways about what products you should use. I think the more extreme example of this is web stacks. Microsoft and Apple both seem to suffer from this not-invented-here syndrome around .NET and/or WebObjects, and the browsers they create. I speculate there are just massive losses in productivity there, simply because open source produces better web tools. Microsoft routinely makes web pages that only render in IE, and the Apple Store routinely fails on anything but Safari. Use the best stuff there is. And it might not be invented at home.
