In full photoshop (which I use) there are normally at least 3 ways of doing pretty much the same thing yet I've never seen a review which slates it for unnecessary duplication.
It's often like that with reviews... some reviewers can't bear to give anything 5 stars, so they have to try and find something to twist their faces at. I recall reading a review of the Panasonic LX5, and the only 'con' the reviewer could find was that you had to actually manually remove the lens cap using your actual physical hand. So he dropped it a star. Makes you wonder.
