It's definitely a multi dimensional problem with no single 'right' answer... but at this point in a platform war, I equate the early phases as goldrush/landgrab where every gained user/developer will contribute to your camp and take one away from the competitor.. they'll fuel and propel your camp to grow further.

It costs more to convert a user that has already pledged their 'allegiance' to another camp, since they've already invested their time (setup, configuration, learning ui/ux..) and money (apps, services) to their current choice.

So... there are definitely advantages to being quick.

But yes, I agree with your point and I didn't mean to sidetrack the more important discussion of this thread.
