I don't necessarily agree with this assumption totally. I think personally that not everyone who sticks with one product is nor should be, entitled a fan boy just as I think that not everyone who is looking at the competition is disrespecting what they currently use.
Allow me to explain. I use one product for the simple reason that our cell providers don't' allow one to return a product if it does not work and we annoy switch sim cards if we buy a new phone. Does that make me a fanboy? No, it just makes me very cautious to try new or different products. Would I consider Android et al if I were able, maybe.
