I recall that some people similarly were bemused about the reaction to Vista. Lesson I learned is that it doesn't really matter what the likes of us may think once everybody else decides the Emperor has no clothes. We may see their preferences as resistance to change or whatever, but that's a bit like insisting the operation was a success though the patient died. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
