Hundreds of debates, countless flames, innumerable passionate supporters, no limits, no ending lines, no result. The conflicts keep on going and going and going. It doesn't matter if it's Cisco's IOS, Microsoft's Windows, Suse's Linux or FreeBSD. People struggle to prove their
platform's superiority ignoring that an Operating System is just a tool focusing on specific needs.

I agree completely, and I add that the same considerations are valid for the programming languages.
Programming languages are tools not religion idols.
In the last years working with several different languages helped me to understand and to focus more the problem to be solve than the tool for solving it. It is the same for OSs: they are tools that help people to achieve solutions .. not holy grail !
