I’ve been online a long time and I’m no stranger to flame wars. It’s amazing how often these topics continually come up: Mac vs PC, Canon vs Nikon, Aperture vs Lightroom, Flash vs HTML5, etc. These are just tools and no one tool is better than another. It’s not the tools you choose, but how you choose to use the tools that makes the difference. It’s just preferences, so for those that care here are my preferences:

Mac vs. PC – For me it’s Mac. I’ve used them both and for the way I work the Mac is faster and more stable for me.

Canon vs Nikon – I know there are more brands out there but I bought Canon many years ago and now I have an investment in lenses so I’ll stick with Canon.

Aperture vs Lightroom – Lightroom wins for me only because i’ve never really used Aperture.

Flash vs HTML5 – I really like the consistency you can achieve from Flash websites, but I’m in the HTML 5 camp for more universality.

Crop vs Full sensor – You didn’t know I was putting this in, but I’m a crop sensor guy. I like that added zoom factor for the same lens. I did have to get used to the difference but now I’m so used to it, it’s second nature.

Will my preferences work for the way you work? Possibly, but you evolve to work a certain way. And what works for you may not work for someone else. So what are you preferences and what compelling reason do you have to use those particular tools. Here’s the truth of it all, if any one of these tools consistently underperformed their rival, we would have a dominate tool everyone would would be using.
