In the last 1-2 years, I have given up on religious wars in technology (this should not be taken in any way to have anything to do with real religion). Just part of the list from the last 20 years or so: Mainframe-PC, Windows-UNIX, DB2-IMS/IDMS, Sybase-Oracle-Informix-Ingress, SQL Server-Oracle, PC-MAC, iPhone/Pad-Android, I don't argue about it anymore. Each technology is good for something, and works better for some people. Life is too short, and nobody convinces the other side anyway. I think that my oldest son misses these arguments, at least WRT Apple products 🙂
I never went in for those kinds of arguments (they are rarely discussions or debates). I tend to find that most technology has its value but all could be better. Perhaps a little unfair but I've yet to see perfection and time always highlights that anything could be better.
Phone wars are the funniest: my Mrs hates my brilliant Windows Phone and I can't get on with her adored iPhone. Solution: she has an iPhone and I have a Windows Phone. Simple 🙂
