You know who you are. Yes you. I’m pointing at you… Tech snobs.
(However for the people who aren’t the ones I’m talking about and have encountered those bastard progeny of Satan my apologies and feel free to rant and rave about them also in the comments.)
I have a life. I have friends, family, girls I’m hoping to see more of etc etc.
I don’t have time to examine all the software out there right now in the world or to code my own (like I could code any software in the first place! HAH! My first attempt was getting a computer to display “hello world” and I still cocked it up.)
I’m a moderately savvy tech user and I do like to mess around with things but at the end of the day that’s about my limit.
So please. When I ask you a question. Just answer the simple question, assmuncher. I didn’t ask for a dissertation on your unfounded software opinions. So yes it’s you people. You fucking tech SNOBS who poo poo all our decisions unless we’re using ubundebhat software running codeyourownblogphp where we write it ALL IN XI AND COMPILE IT! NO I DO NOT CARE ABOUT SOME SOFTWARE I HAVE NEVER FUCKING HEARD OF! Just tell me if it is possible to do it or not and semi detailed instructions on how to do it if it is possible and a defintive NO if it isn’t! PLEASE for the love of Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds or Steve Jobs (Or whoever you follow!).
Do you really just sit there all night long wondering why you sit in your ivory tower of a Linux machine and think to yourself “I’m so special my computer has an uptime of 423 days and I didn’t need a reboot and I don’t need to worry about viruses.” (AND IT IS VIRSUSES NOT VIRII!!! YOUR ATTEMPTS AT PSEUDO INTELLECTUALLISM IN PLURALISING THE WORD VIRUS USING LATIN IS WRONG.)
I don’t care. My system works for me. My stuff works for me. I don’t need you to tell me how dumb I am because at the end of the day despite all the grumbling and moaning I have for my systems of choice. I don’t and won’t use Linux because you’re an annoying bastard and the mere thought of using it makes me nauseous because of its associations with people like you.

If something works for someone, who are you to judge! Jebus! Yes blah might do something better, or more elegantly, or without giving money to M$(atan) but honestly sometimes familiarity and ease of use trumps all that little passive ivory tower bullshit.
Several years ago I used to write articles on my palm pilot. To do this I used a cheap little word processor (lite!) called “Palm Word” which SEAMLESSLY integrated with the version of MS word I was using on my ‘98 box.
The combination worked flawlessly and easily. It was a time saver. It was a money saver. It did everything I could ask of it. Why the fuck would I use GnuWord or CorelPerfect or someshit like that that isn’t as seamlessly supported?
Make the product suit my needs better and perhaps I won’t use teh ebil proscribed software!
