> Software is about choice and productivity. I'm pretty sure software is 'about' whatever the hell one wants it to be. > It's great that we have choices and I embrace a variety of them throughout my personal and professional life, but this "us against them" philosophy belongs in a boardroom and not in the hands of users and creatives. That's rather prescriptive, don't you think? If users wish to make this particular choice - by 'telling them off' for behaving in such a manner, in what sense are you being any less pushy and 'us vs. them' than are they? You may have a personal distaste for their approach, but indeed their personal distaste for someone else's approach to software is what drives many[1] to stand behind this in the first place! [1]: Of course there are always some who just want a fight - any fight. They're even less likely to change 'just because they're told to'. :P
