Multiplayer Prototyping: If your tools aren’t fun, you’re not doing it right

But it's not a very productive program. Despite it's feature-richness and insane extensibility, the workflow it provides is somehow more grating for me than other programs like Ableton Live or FL Studio. All of the technical cruft that went into making it slowly caught up with it, like writing the entire thing in Java or having an inflexible UI toolkit.

So, I don't really know if this is a universal truth. Fun tools are fun, but not necessarily superior.
