Partly generational, partly how ingrained habits/preferences are.

I had to switch from my primary care about a year ago. (He was getting out of doing primary care work because, he said, he had a small practice and just couldn't deal with the paperwork.) From the beginning, he really resisted the computerized systems and probably complained about them pretty much every time I was in for a physical.
