[Leica] It's all your fault

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

The reason why everyone does not switch and join up right off the bat is 
because we're talking about software that a large percentage of people use 
seldom and with resentment. They'd rather just skip it. 
What's wanted is for photography now to be like in the good old days when 
you clicked it and forgot it. Just remember which drug store you brought it 
too.  People want a hands off approach to photography. They want it un 
touched by human hands especially their own..  
It's one thing to buy cheap software but paying for it every month seems 
like one is sending off the wrong message. And the message is "I can't be 
bothered". And they really want everyone who does care to hear it. Often.
The majority of photo enthusiasts could more accurately be called camera 
enthusiasts who could more accurately be called money enthusiasts.
You can't really call them camera lovers as cameras just pass though their 
hands like its nothing. 
Making a commitment to the final result of their images is so far beyond the 
point it's not even funny.

    I still cannot, for the life of me, understand why everybody does not
    switch, it is that convenient and at a very reasonable cost. Is cutting
    your nose to spite your face standard practice?
    
    As John Maynard Keynes once replied to a reporter who accused him of
    changing his mind - "If the facts change, sir, I change my mind. Pray 
what
    do you do?" :-)
