It's not restricted to languages or IT-stuff; you can see it with
books or films or music or political or religious preferences...

In IT we had as well various "wars" in the past. More considerate

and preferences) by focusing on the facts alone. Other folks feel
an urge to (unnecessarily) ignite them.
