• If I am a fan of a tool then I have no qualms about pushing that tool regardless of who produces it.

    There will always be people who complain about a reviewer "selling out" or being partisan. They are noisy but in the minority.

    Most readers will simply use a review to supplement (but not replace) their own research.

    There will always an element of personal preference. I personally like the Quest tools but find their UI a bit fiddly and counter-intuitive, someone else may disagree on either or both points. If the reviewer sticks with the facts and keeps the emotives to the minimum then what is the problem?
