Because there is no viable alternative. If the two pieces of software offer same (or at least similar) features, one that has less "papercuts" will win, no? To put it simply, if there is an alternative, we use software that is _better_ (having less papercuts is one way of measuring, I guess).

- anonymoushn 3y agoI recently read that some people use MSVC instead of LLVM because LLVM is several times slower.
- temp_account_00 3y agoSo if you have 2 software options to choose from, and they accomplish the same thing (or, at least, they are both designed to accomplish the same thing), which one will you choose: one that sucks more or one that sucks less? Or, if you think that all software sucks - one that sucks or one that sucks just a little less? There basically is no product (software or not) without some cons; so in the case pros are the same, wont you choose the one with less cons?
