I disagree -- their value proposition on their BasecampHQ homepage says "the leading web-based project collaboration tool". That sounds like it should be pretty generic, and applicable to many different use cases, and definitely to the small web development startup, right?

Coke says it's the leading soft drink. I don't really think it's their issue if you happen to like Pepsi better.

The fact that 55% (or whatever) of the market is using the tool, but you aren't part of that 55% makes the claim accurate and the tool not right for you at the same time.
