I'd be surprised if they weren't exploring it. But that doesn't mean they're going to make the switch; it only means that they're keeping their options open.

Maybe they wouldn't switch if they found similar advancement internally...

pedrig | karma 19 | avg karma 1.9 · | 2021-01-25 17:09:48+00:00

can confirm, i too am positively surprised that most people i meet are absolutely willing to switch.

What makes you think people haven't switched?

What r they gonna switch to?

I don't see why I wouldn't switch.

Users will switch if there is a viable alternative.

so let's give them more reasons to switch :-)

Just curious, why haven't you switched yet or have planned to switch 'anytime soon'?

danielsamuels | karma 1525 | avg karma 5.89 · | 2015-09-22 12:54:26

Just seems weird for the conversation to be about how someone refuses to switch to it, that's all. :)

jetti | karma 1444 | avg karma 1.33 · | 2017-09-13 07:58:02+00:00

If that is the case, what benefits do you see in switching? I'm genuinely curious.

spion | karma 4081 | avg karma 2.59 · | 2021-01-22 00:18:17+00:00

so why didn't they switch to that.

fredsir | karma 849 | avg karma 2.35 · | 2016-11-01 10:49:14+00:00

That might be true. I dunno. Its just what I have understood from professionals that won't switch. If that is neither the case, well then I don't know why they are still hanging around. Might be UI and shortcuts familiarity, I guess.

Is there a reason to not switch?

rantwasp | karma 1586 | avg karma 1.49 · | 2021-03-19 17:19:44+00:00

to be fair, switching over is probably non-trivial and/or risky

tsimionescu | karma 17553 | avg karma 2.17 · | 2022-05-31 01:33:20

Read their second paragraph. That is exactly how they think of it, and they do think it makes it obvious you should switch.

jarym | karma 3278 | avg karma 4.6 · | 2020-10-07 04:09:02

Well I’m not wed to anything - maybe sometime we’ll see an article about reasons TO switch.

ryuukk_ | karma -17 | avg karma -0.08 · | 2019-06-26 21:15:12+00:00

nobody asks you to switch

it is always nice to try new stuff, it makes u aware of current trends, and ready to move in case of job opportunity

Yes, I was about to switch and then they changed their mind.

Switching is really painful, though, because I am quite attached to the ecosystem and it would require substantial work to recreate it from bits and pieces.

What are they switching into?
