     Who cares about what is the best in any situation? This type of  
talk is for flamers and n00bs, and as adults I would hope that we  
have progressed on from this behavior.
     One should realize that given any situation there is a set tool  
which best helps for solving each situation, so regardless of which  
OS, depending on the situation and what needs to be solved/ 
accomplished the proper tool should be used as the proper solution to  
any problem.
     End of story.
