Sometimes that's the best perspective to have. And in this case, I believe it is. If left up to us engineers/hackers/nerds, we would continue to stubbornly work on or with one system or the other, prolonging the debate indefinitely. And hey, if enough people really feel strongly that Upstart is superior, it's FOSS! Fork and build a community! I know it's not easy but if enough people share your passion it can happen, and that's Yet Another Reason(tm) Open Source rocks.

No, it's an intelligent perspective. I would hope that any engineer would follow similar reasoning and arrive at similar conclusions given the facts.
