Avoiding something because it's not what you're used to strikes me as
being a bit silly. If I thought like that then I'd still be suffering
Windows cos it used to be what I was used to.
Just as a counterpoint, I refuse to use EU::MM in new code. It's too
broken and there's no reason to use a non-perl tool when you don't have to.
As a counter-counter-point, if you're going to refuse to use EU::MM
because it's too broken, you have to refuse to use Module::Build for the
same reason. I know, after testing every single module on the CPAN,
that more modules don't work because of Module::Build bugs than because
of ExtUtils::MakeMaker bugs, so if EU::MM is "too broken" then M::B has
to also be too broken because it is *more* broken. Which is a shame,
cos M::B is a good idea.
