> Taking your logic a bit further: the final product is what we (should be) interested in. Python or C++ or LaTeX or whatever are just to help us make it. Everything else, whether it be Python or git or C++ or Mecurial or vim or Windows or an ergonomical mouse, is just there to help us make the final product in an easy and quality manner.
This is my mindset. I do have my preferences, but it is all about what technologies our customers require.
So I tend to say I am language and OS agnostic.
The hard lesson about this came from the time I was still trying to get into the game industry and was spending more time thinking about FOSS technologies for game development, than the game design itself. After getting a foot into the industry, it became clear to me that what matters is getting a game released, the technology religion has no place.
So nowadays I always advocate the goal is to have a project done and solve the customer problems. The technology used for it is secondary.
