bigot: n. [common] A person who is religiously attached to a particular
computer, language, operating system, editor, or other tool (see
religious issues). Usually found with a specifier;
thus, Cray bigot, ITS bigot, APL
bigot, VMS bigot,
Berkeley bigot. Real bigots can be
distinguished from mere partisans or zealots by the fact that they refuse
to learn alternatives even when the march of time and/or technology is
threatening to obsolete the favored tool. It is truly said “You can
tell a bigot, but you can't tell him much.” Compare
weenie,
Amiga Persecution Complex.
