You could argue the same about Windows &#x2F; Office (required in a lot of schools), student discounts for software packages (notably Photoshop and other high-priced pieces of software), even Linux. There is IMO no such thing as a neutral choice of software, although free software doesn&#x27;t have commercial goals so it gets more kudos from me. Still, you can&#x27;t go &quot;I only know vim&quot; when your job is to work with Word &#x2F; Excel (lots of jobs there).
