I agree with this completely. I have a couple of non-system lenses and
make the adjustment, but it's certainly a noticable thing.

Besides the "collection" aspect, there is the very real aspect of
similarity that you only see in a true system design. The Zuiks all
have the aperture ring in the same place. The knurls on the aperture
ring are all the same. The knurls on the focusing ring are all the
same. The ribs on the zoom rings are all the same. Once you navigate
one Zuik by touch, you know them all.
When I put a non-Zuik on, I go through a period of cognitive
dissonance while I re-"get used to" the different lens. This may not
be an issue if you only have one lens, or if all your lenses are from
different makers anyway, but there are advantages beyond "snob appeal"
to use system lenses.
