One interesting trait I've identified with PSTricks users: they love it! Almost to a fault. Nearly every time I Google for how to do something with TikZ, I always see a PSTricks user has provided an answer on how to do it their way even though the question relates specifically to TikZ. > Several years ago I created a scannable form with PSTricks and was able > to > adjust each component with very fine (sub-millimeter) resolution so the > filled boxes were correctly seen by the scanner. > TikZ can do this too.
