Sorry - I didn't realize this expression is not used in the U.S. It 
generally means that each situation is best suited to some solutions rather 
than others. In the context of my usage, I was trying to say your view of 
Euphoria, "I still have yet to find something lacking in EUPHORIA..." and 
mine, "I have to use workarounds" are obviously different but we are both 
still able to use it for the tasks we have chosen.

I have a different set of expecations - just as valid as yours, of course.
