I think that technical people tend to underestimate the importance of convenience. If it were up to hacker news, everyone would be on Linux, everyone would assemble their own laptop and nobody would own an iPhone.

Lol, you should just try to use something you're not familiar with in production. Let's just stop all discussion around things and just let people try everything for themselves. That't the best way for humans to learn. Writing, reading and discussion are so blase'
