Actually, I think that's quite obviously false -- your "unity" is my my
"dumb inflexibility solely to cater to people unwilling to learn
anything new" -- but good luck with that.  (I remember the sheer
irritation value of dealing with visiting Apple "Human Interface Guidelines" 
inspectors, when I worked at a cross-platform development house, back in
the day.

Thank you for playing.  You have deployed one of the dumbest arguments
in a field notorious for them (OS-advocacy).

This is precisely the sort of reason why OS-advocacy discussions are
generally deemed noxious.  (And, if you'll please excuse me....)
