My US$.02:

What can I do to get people to accept better hammers?

Well, hey -- like anything, you have to sell it. You start with the benefits to them, just like a salesperson, and end with that little ol' teensy tiny thing they actually have to do.

Of course, no amount of selling is going to move refrigerators inside the Arctic Circle -- if the proposed tool-users find it to be "threatening" as people often find change, then you won't have buyers.

You are what you think.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
