I agree completely.  This discussion has degenerated into a shouting match.
Hardly anyone is doing anything other than praising their favorite system
and putting down any other system.  I've seen several LONG articles that
seem to be defending injured feelings rather than ideas.  Could we put 
a lid on the endless my-mouse-is-better-than-your-mouse thread?  Then we
could all get back to designing improved user interfaces. :-)
