This bunch has been doing pretty much the same thing the same way for 18 years. I go with the flow. "Religion, n.

The modules I have installed in my Emacs do an awful lot of productivity-enhancing stuff. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

If I tried to introduce new ways in my current location, I'd get the "you're not from around here, are you?" sort of thing. They pay the piper, they call the tune.
