Do you choose your food/car/housing/etc based on virtue signalling rather than utility as well?

Well i generally look for signals that a place I might eat at knows how to cook. If I walk in and I see rats on the floor and theres no kitchen I probably won't be interested.

I apply the same logic to software.

Do you choose your software exclusively based on virtue signalling about which editor they used to write it in?
