If you need it, I'm sure even the original author of Big Brother could provide it.

That's a pretty good reason right there! I'm not sure how many will pick up on that :)
Folks that depend on vendor support for tool xyz often find themselves at the mercy of said vendor when shtf. I can offer several reasons why I've used BB->Hobbit->XyMon for over the past ~15 years but it sounds like your co-worker has already made the decision to use some other product.
I think I'll make some popcorn and ponder this for some time.....
