It's a holy war thing.
You probably aren't old enough to remember the fantastic flamewars of PDP vs IBM, Commodore vs Atari, Amiga vs Atari ST, Apple or TRS-80 vs Everyone else.
It's the same thing that fuels the Chevy vs Ford battles or the .45 ACP vs 9mm for building entry.
People react so strongly because giving any ground is an admission that they lacked judgement and went down the wrong path. Essentially, it is meaningless, but it is human nature. Everyone has a favorite and wants everyone else to agree, thereby endorsing their intelligence.
