Not really, no, as long as we're not talking about your entire company
or anything like that (mostly for reliability issues, house full of
roommates).

I never understood how hard it can be for some people to learn an almost
totally identical piece of software. I'm very tempted to say that they
shouldn't be allowed to drive a car under any circumstances if switching
software is a problem. Sure, they drive a Honda stickshift, but what if
they need to drive an automatic Buick? If they're that thrown by minor
differences in software, what hope do we have of them being able to
operate very slightly different controls properly in a car?
Please ask that of the luddites...
