Sorry, but this is such an oft-applied aphorism that I feel it needs a corollary:

A good craftsman has the wisdom to select the right tool for the job.

Of course, the "right" tool for a job might, and often does, vary from craftsman to craftsman.

It probably wouldn't be "craft" were that not the case.

As long as it's not Java, right? :P

Hey, you're talking to somebody who's doing almost all of his programming these days in j2me! Sometimes the customer restricts the craftsman's selection of tools... :-)
