Couple of thoughts.
1. Yes, the 'style' debates tend to be self-serving.
2. I do end up with either feeling good about my techniques or finding out
another good technique.
3. By expressing my preferred techniques, others may may experience #2
above.
By keeping an open mind, each of us knows how these techniques, both new to
us and our own favorites, can weave into our own environments.
Many participants seem to manage large shops with 100's of users so every
cycle counts. But I'm sure others manage 10-20 users shops. Some have
4GL-style systems with implied rules and requirements. Others may have
home-grown systems from the Jurrasic Pick era.
Without comparisons, we all function in a vacuum.
