Sometimes it is true, sadly.
Few people know more than one well enough to make a considered choice,
Very true, indeed.
whatever you have come to know and love is good enough for you, and you get annoyed with people who try to persuade you otherwise.
Oh, yes, but then one shouldn't seek advice on which editor is best.A more "unreligious" approach on both sides would help a constructive discussion: the one seeking advice should maintain an open mind and those giving advice should try to be helpful and describing *why* their favourite editor is so good for them with actual use cases, scenarios and/or rational motivations.
