Apples and oranges are not equal in all other respects, but both are nourishing and enjoyable to those who eat them. Comparisons and analysis of the virtues and differences between apples and oranges are best left to those eating them, not to those lecturing about how one is better than another "all other things being equal." The systems and technologies I have used in the past 35 years have rarely been equal in all other respects, and some of my more costly mistakes are based on choosing the "best" technology or design rather than the market dominant design that works as well as it needs to.
