You being Dutch should give you quite some studying material ;)  Its 
well known that the Dutch complain continuesly about just anything[1] 
they feel they have enough knowledge about. Or not.

Complainting is less effort then just about anything. It saves you from 
actually installing the thing and testing it. It also makes you feel 
good about the current choice you made.  If that alternative is so bad, 
then you don't have to doubt your previous choices!

Complaining is basically the ultimate in procrastination, if you look at 
it from a psychological point of view :)

The good thing is that as soon as some initial inertia is overcome (in 
the global market) then people will eventually try it and switch en 
mass (provided its good enough) without looking back. Probably will 
just start to complain about why the other doesn't have CMYK. ;)

People, such strange beings.
