It's not about abandoning. It's about expanding your horizons and your
expectations. Sometimes you can appreciate home all the more by going
out and exploring the world. It's even easier these days considering the
near oracle like quality of google. "How do I do X in language Y". Most 
of the time it will take you to the relevant question on stackoverflow!

Darn kids these days, there was a time when you actually had to read
the manual and people were entitled to expect you to! They don't know
what they are missing. Or maybe its the other way around. :-)
