I won't argue that it is "the trend", I'm still trying to figure out
exactly WHY it is the trend.  I have found precisely ONE user who was
not directly a vendor that was an Oracle advocate (on any platform).
It appears very much to have the momentum of, as Alfredo has suggested
in the past, "the emperor's new clothes".  In actual fact, even in it's
most pristine state, Oracle still blows chunks.  It is horrible.  (No
offense to the Oracle subscribers).
