Can't help but think that this applies to infix/prefix and operator 
precedence/full parenthesisation:

And Vim vs Emacs, and Windows vs Linux vs Mac, and Lisp vs everything.

Thanks for the link.

And now that Safari was released for Windows, you can see another 
example of familiarity /= superiority: The Mac vs Windows font rendering.

Since I've bought Mac I've got used to the more smoothness of it's 
rendering, but seeing Safari on Windows made me realize, that I was not 
accustomed of seeing such rendering on Windows (if you can understand 
me). I'm accustomed of seeing Windows rendering on Windows.... Ah, well 
you can get accustomed to anything. It just takes time.
