I think I've noticed this attitude from "enthusiasts" as well. Even if a solution people are using has flaws, with regular use they get so used to its idiosyncrasies that they can't imagine it not working the way it does. It's very difficult to have them think creatively about a better way to do things at that point. I think there's a bit of Stockholm syndrome in it as well, for lack of a better term. You get attached to the technology because now you know its ins and outs. If it gives you the results you want, what more could you want at that point? If someone comes along and shows you "a better way", you might become violently dismissive because you're so attached to your solution.
