I'd read up on the other factors if I were you. I've also heard that Oculus is lighter weight and more comfortable, but that Facebook/Oculus have made some unpopular moves on platform openness and pushing for Oculus-exclusive titles.

Overall I have a more positive impression of Vive, but I haven't used either company's retail hardware so I don't have a strong opinion on them.

That is because many people hate Facebook, and there for love anything that is not from them. Some people have similar feelings toward Value, who is not the bully on the block. But the anti-FB contingent is louder.

I have some sympathy for the "don't support exclusives" argument. It's up there with taking money from Dell to release games that will only run on Dell displays.

If there were significant differences between the platforms' capabilities I'd be more sympathetic, but they're basically interchangeable.
