My 2 cents:

Some folks like coffe; some like tea.

Some like water colors; some like photographs.

Some like platinum; some like inkjet.

Some like compositing clouds from one image into the dull sky of another
image; some like straight photographs.

I like straight. 

There's something for everyone. And I like that.
