True, by itself "they use it" is not a real argument.

If I may expand a bit on what I said. There is a reason why business gravitates towards higher level languages and tools. It gets the job done faster and cheaper. They are just more effective. Hardware gets cheaper, programmers don't. (ok, let's ignore India for a moment here. ;-) ) Now, in OSS land money is often called time. I've only got a limited amount of time that I can spend on OSS projects. I want to make that time count.
