You're right, I shouldn't have been so terse.  My sincere apologies.  I
will explain why I was a little annoyed...

My philosophy is to use what works.  I get a little upset when I hear
people say "I don't want to use this or that" especially when the reason is
non-technical.  I find, often, that people have an unreasoning EMOTIONAL
attachments to certain things and it simply makes no sense to me when the
entire idea is to accomplish something technical.

Cutting things out without explaining WHY using a reasonable and logical
argument is not something I am a huge fan of.  I have found in 12 years of
being "lead" that, sometimes, it means making decisions that are good for
the project, but that are, sometimes, unpopular.
