Next time someone argues on how important it is to have yet another  
text editor, or yet another option in the control panel, please  
direct them to this article :

The talk is very interesting too, though only the beginning really  
applies to software development (i.e. forcing people to make choices  
is essentially bad, even worse when it's about things they don't care  
about).
