You're actually getting at something deeper which I've been noticing more and more lately. Many people seem really reluctant to learn how to use things. It only seems to happen with software. They see a program or a new language and seem to think "well, I'm already a coder, I should be able to use this". When it's even slightly different to what they expect they complain that it's "hard". It's really strange to me. Imagine if people did that outside of software. I can already walk so I must be able to ride a bike. I can speak English, so I must be able to speak French. The same goes for software. I spent years trying to understand infix notation and learning the precedence rules. Why would it not take time and effort to learn prefix notation? |

Nope, it happens with EVERYTHING. If it doesn't work like something they've used before, they have to really, really need it to use (as in, be forced to use it), otherwise, into the trash it goes.
