It's called a choice.

That is your choice. But that does not mean that others are wrong

Oh dear Rob, you must be new here! While what you say is, of course,
correct it isn't accepted by bigots.

If half of those who are so "anti" DStar got on an developed an alternative
CODEC (and it is just the CODEC which is proprietary), this debate would
have ended long ago. As it is, by the time the alternate CODEC becomes
viable, I fully expect that such systems will be so "yesterday".

Amateur radio has many facets, DStar is simply one of them. Why can't people
be left to enjoy their pet facets while others get on and enjoy theirs?
