Just a habit I got into ages ago.
Yeah, it's something I look at in usage patterns. Lots of people don't follow the tools development too closely, and so they keep using options which are no longer needed. Then they teach those to other people, thus ensuring that people keep thinking things are more complicated than they are... I'd really like a solution that didn't involve me having to rectify things again and again, but it's better than nothing :)
