My problem isn't a reliance on tools, it's being forced to use tools. IDEs, job queues, things that make me wait a thousand times a day. I wish I could drop java and eclipse down a deep deep well.
It's just a different kind of excuse.
I know keyboard shortcuts are second nature for some people to hide/show windows. But in web/mobile app development, being able to see the mockup, the website, and the code all on one screen is a thing of beauty (and efficiency) to me.
