Forget the politics, what does the management structure of a tech
company have to do with programming?  It's much more important to
know if Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit even if you don't use it than to
know if someone has a viceral opinion about its maker.

Viceral opinions are useful, but only about things that matter.  Like
the one true editor, or sysv vs. berekely init scripts.
