OS wars are so stupid.  People should use the OS (or OSes) that do what
they want the OS to do.  Nothing wrong with replying to a query with,
"I use this OS, as it has always worked for me," but it's just
dumb to say like a little kid on the playground, "My OS is better than
yours - you're a fool not to use mine."  Every OS has its pluses and
minuses - even me with my limited knowledge knows that.  

As for programming and languages, I never learned any of that, but it
strikes me that language wars are like OS wars.  *adh*
