My first question is to what extent does Fanboyism, which I call Infatuation, contributes to a 3D app's acceptance. Does it help attract new users, does it scare them away, or it has no impact either way?

My second question is how many fanboys of, say Blender, are actually award-winning artists? How many of them made it to the cover of 3D World magazine? How many of them can justify their worship of 'The greatest 3D app ever' with their mind-blowing artistic creations? All of them, only a few of them, or none of them?
