In the home video recorder world, Betamax was first; for a while Betamax was synonymous with "home video recorder." Most people agree it is technically superior to VHS. VHS had the better business plan behind it and became more popular. Popular beats technically good every time. Within a few years, Betamax vanished.

To accept itmeans to accept that proprietary Unix is technically superior to Linux, which is something that has most definitely NOT been proven true in MY personal experience using many varieties of both...
