This reminds me of an old hunting story. The same group of guys would meet out at my property in Montana for Elk hunting each fall, all of us coming from different parts of the country, all of us with different P/U trucks. There was one friend that had a 2-wheel drive truck, and loaded with gear. He "Had" to have his gear, even though it was excessive gear. So, we would compromise by only going to certain areas that his truck could 'get' to, i.e. he had 2-wheel drive, we had 4-wheel drive. After a certain number of years, the area we hunted became quite 'popular' since it was accessible to any vehicle. We decided to go up higher in the mountains (I belong to a property owners association where we have hunting/fishing rights to 10,000 acres).
Well, what were we going to do with "Charlie" and all his gear, and his 2-wheel drive truck that wouldn't make it to the 'better' happy hunting grounds? We gave him a choice...cut down on the gear you bring, and put it in our trucks, or, get a 4-wheel drive truck so you can enjoy the good hunting.
At first, he was alittle disturbed, but then he decided to get a 4-wheel drive so he could continue his hunting with our group.
Moral of the story, don't stay behind with people that don't have the equipment to keep up with the group, they will change if they have the desire to...and they won't get pissy about it.
Makes me think of the Mac guys. They get so defensive when something isn't written for a Mac..hey, here's a clue...BUY A PC AND ENJOY THE HUNTING!
