Limited resources always makes for lots of infighting. It's human nature. And in this community, resources couldn't be much more limited.
But anyway, it's not even limited to small markets. The internet is full of GUI vs. Shell wars, BSD vs. Linux, Windows vs. Linux, Radeon vs. nVidia, etc etc etc. Human beings are intolerant tribal things who cripple their choice with their own prejudices.
