So what? Once again, it's one of those posts trying to convince everyone, that whatever they do is wrong just because the author thinks he's right. I hate this, because there is no right or wrong.

> Can you get this done in time? Can you get this done in time on budget? If yes, proceed directly to GO.

Getting things done could depend on one's setup which someone could have internalized already.

I'm not trying to convince anyone that they're wrong. If I was, I could have easily said "If you use Fireworks, you're a bad person." I don't care what tools you use.

What I'd like to see less of is the obsessive fascination with our tools - it's great to be using cool stuff, but that's a means to an end, not the end in and of itself.
