I'm not sure what I'm going to put here but the initial idea is to put some thoughts about how I look at the whole system.

For instance, the longer you work with a particular vendor the more you'll probably hate them. This is because you have time to bump into all the little annoyances and corner cases where their gear won't do what you want or is just generally a PITA. You'll also have a chance to really test their support and you'll probably learn that it sucks. I could explain why I think (almost) everyone's support sucks but that would veer into general philosophy and the state of the world and this isn't the place where I do that.
