   Well, when you say "matters of taste" you nail it.   
      
   IMO the majority is probably choosing the best platform for them,   
   but that doesn't guarantee it will be your favorite.   
      
   It's really the "most people are wrong" thing I'm disagreeing with,   
   a childish, ego-centered, argument that the rest of the world should   
   feel the same way the speaker does.
