Many programmers feel that autofocus is delicate butterfly and autoraise is a big, stinky buffalo. That's just how they feel about it. No accounting for taste. I, for one, think of autoraise as a big, stinky, deceased buffalo carcass that someone thoughtfully dragged into my living room while I was on vacation, probably towards the beginning of the vacation, and then they turned up my thermostat too, closed the windows and tossed a Durian fruit at the wall for good measure.

But maybe it's just me.

This one wins the "graphic analogy of the day" award.
