I'm of the opinion that people who look down on you for not using their chosen product are just awful people to have in your life. You don't want to be interacting with that toxic behaviour anyway.

Cut them out and make it clear: they are awful, not because of the product, but because of their behaviour.

The nice thing with open source software, there is relatively little stopping you from using it.

The nice thing with open source software, there is relatively little stopping you from using it.

Except of course if your workplace or educational institution has some restriction or imposition on the software you use. Which tends to be the result of the ubiquitous nature of proprietary software.
