The main obstacle seems to be to acknowledge that your current environment might not be the universally best. But it seems that trend isn't really new, just increasing. It amazes me to no end that those linux gnus continuously emphasise that one has to spend some amount of time to grow comfortable with the command line, keyboard navigation in window managers and editors, and whatever else their current pet peeve may be, yet they aren't too willing to to the same about an environment they're not accustomed themselves.
