Excellent practitioners curate their tools and select the ones
that give them the best chance of maximizing the effectiveness
of their work products.  Ego driven machismo and disdain for
tooling that helps prevent defects is a sign of an amateurish
attitude towards software development, not that of a
professional, let alone an engineer.
