They are efficient for you.  Just because something is efficient for you 
does not mean it is efficient for everyone else.  C is efficient for 
some people, but not others.  Ocaml is efficient for some, not for 
others.  Ada for some not for others.  Windows for some, not for others. 
  Linux for some, not for others.  Too many people think they know it 
all and that all is their little bit of the world!  Closed minds are A 
Bad Thing.

No one says every app should be equal, just consistent in user 
expectations of it's interface.
