Settled
When a software is so good it makes you stop searching further for any other software in the same category, it makes the debate settled -- you've found the ultimate tool, you're now free, you no longer have to think about the topic or invest any more precious time into trying different alternatives. You've found the ultimate, nearly perfect tool for the job, the one that makes the others obsolete. Settling the competition of different tools is one of the goal of good technology as it frees users as well as programmers.
For example Vim often settles the search for a text/programming editor for many programmers (yes, for others it's Emacs). It is one's own personal "category killer" (a term used by ESR in Cathedral and Bazaar).
Nevertheless some soyboys just like hopping and switching their tools just because, they simply like wasting their time with things like distrohopping etc. There's no help to these people.
