This is very much the same as Mac vs. PC debate.
It's 100% preference. The average Mac user will go insane if made to switch to windows, and vice versa. The reasons why are almost entirely personal preference, and a quite strong preference at that.
Practically speaking how would a building do this, without costing thousands. Who do you think the land-lord will pass that cost to?
