Look, how I see these things is that we have tools. Do you think that people working on fields would fight over which tractor brand is better? Probably not. Do you thinks that builders would fight over which hammer brand is better. I don't think so. These fights over minor differences are happening mostly in the software industry. Freud wrote a pretty good thesis about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_differences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism_of_small_difference... Moving into databases is not something I understand. I worked the last 10 years as data engineer but I like to move out from databases a lot more than moving into them. :)

> Do you think that people working on fields would fight over which tractor brand is better? OMG yes. Having worked in the Midwest, I promise you that farmers absolutely do trash talk each other about John Deere vs New Holland vs International Harvester. Tell a Ford driver that you like his Chevy pickup and prepare to hear about it for the next hour. > Do you thinks that builders would fight over which hammer brand is better. You seriously haven't spent much time around blue collar workers, have you.
