Long story short.. I'm tired of people holding one product in the light as the be all end all product and pointing out the flaws of another one with smug superiority.
I would honestly think we have reached a point in time where customers would realize that products are not universally perfect.
Now days, there are glaring problems with a lot of products shipped. We do not live in the days of "works 100% out the box anymore"..
What bugs me the most about this is how instead of acknowledging that products get shipped with problems.. People choose to sit there and indulge in total fanboyism and discuss which flaws are "worst" in other products while totally denying their own inherent flaws.
I am not limiting this to any particular instance.. but, a few things come up.
360 vs PS3
Pc VS Mac
Android vs iPhone
The list goes on.. but, I've lately begun to wonder why people feel such rabid obsessions.
Even I can admit I've developed certain strong dislikes of various things.. however, it is more due to rabid fanboyism than the product itself in most cases..
