That decision is not due to personal preference alone, but it's based on the long-time experience that it's rather newbie-safe and avoids read errors and type errors. Depending on what font [or font size] the reader of my message uses, the difference between a single quote character and the backquote may not be obvious for everyone. Btw, I should have typed $ which fedora-buildrpmtree /usr/bin/fedora-buildrpmtree $ rpm --query --file $(which fedora-buildrpmtree) fedora-rpmdevtools-0.2.0-1 for increased readability and to save even less space. ;)
