I've always wondered at the argument of of "programming language X must be
great because so many programmers write in it".  Hurrumph.  A similar
argument can be made for eating at McDonalds -- it must be the world's best
food, because more people eat at McDonalds than any other restaraunt.

But for mission-critical dining experiences, such as a two-year anniversary,
only a fool would go to McDonalds.  The added expense of a four-star
restaraunt is worth it, even though it may take longer.

p.s. I hope McDonalds' lawyers don't read comp.lang.ada! ;-)
