I've also noticed it, and I've attributed it to the fact that the devil is in the details - you see all the intricacies and problems in the details of the solution you know, but only the shiny facade of the other proposed solution. It's basically the same idea conveyed by "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" - that's not a very handy name though.
