I agree entirely. Long ago, I got some amazing advice, which has helped me to this day. "When you have n choices, and you aren't positive which to choose, choose the more popular one". I used to think this advice was about "the more popular is better". Now I don't think that's true. But the more popular is (in the case of software for example) more likely to be tested on more OSes, or have questions with good answers on stackexchange, have people you can employ to work on it, and still be functioning in 5 years time. The same arguments apply to hardware too -- much easier to convince Android developers to fix their app if there is a bug on the Galaxy Note (for example), than some obscure handset.
