Migration
Which programming environment and/or language has been, and will probably always be, something of a religious argument. There are merits in each along with their downsides. This gem of a quote is funny:
I used to keep a notebook of solutions to common perl problems I've encountered. I still have it, but nowadays I use only one solution to perl problems: migration.As in, the solution to your perl problem is to stop using perl. Now, I like perl and use it frequently. The quoted perspective could well be applied to just about all programming environments.
