I understand your principle, but it's not as if FamilySearch have 
declared they will _only_ work with those prog.s; _nothing_ has been 
_removed_ from what anyone can do, only something _added_.

(I have no connection with either software.)

FindAGrave and Brother's Keeper (another Windows-only [though I suspect 
it would work under WINE] genealogy software) have recently come to some 
sort of agreement; this doesn't decrease the usability of FindAGrave. 
(Which I find a useful site, though I prefer Gravestone Photographic 
Resource [http://gravestonephotos.com/] for UK ones [both have some 
coverage outside US and UK as well].)

Heaven forbid today's audience should feel bombarded with information or
worse, lectured. Dont'scare the horses by waving facts around.
