That is a point that I've felt strongly about for some time. I really don't think that any of the programs have any intrinsic ability to produce an objectively "better" image than the others. What I do think is that photographers get used to the interface and controls of one program and learn to use it effectively - and then dismiss the others as being less good primarily because they don't know how to use them as well.
