1 Because acronyms scare non technical people away and plus it's boring just reading them.
2 Because talking about MS doesn't do any favors, instead try to focus on the merits of what you have to offer.
3 The same reason why people avoid hare krishnas at airport: they look weird!
4 Do really need proof that there is hardly any women contributing to open source projects and yesterday was the international womens day
5 Because software isn't about politics, it's about just that: software!
