</span>Kodi, MythTV, AppleTV, SmartTV, Android TV,<br>
a providers DVR, are all "acquired tastes". One<br>
will either love it, hate it, or tolerate it. Once<br>
one decides to like a particular approach, all<br>
others are "wrong". Trying to convince others<br>
that their approach is wrong is like trying to<br>
argue PC vs Mac, iOS vs Android, Ford vs<br>
Chevy pickups, or the ultimate flame bait,<br>
vi vs emacs.<br>
<br>
We should celebrate that there are choices,<br>
and each project should learn from the others,<br>
while not needing to sacrifice the goals and<br>
priorities of the project(s). Often the best way<br>
for that to happen may actually for someone who<br>
absolutely despises Kodi to find the one thing<br>
in it that s/he wishes MythTV had, and get it<br>
done. And the reverse too(*).<br>

(*) Often the person able to make the strongest<br>
case for a position in a debate is someone who<br>
disagrees with the position. It strips the biases<br>
away, and makes people look at things rationally<br>
rather than emotionally. If one cannot make a<br>
strong case for the other side, they have to<br>
examine if their position has a valid basis.<br>
