I don't agree.  Which tools are best is dependent on
the environment. Bozo environments need special restricted
tools that cater to their bozo natures.  Its best not to give
loaded guns to 3 year olds. Of course it is best
not have have "bozo environments" but the incompetent programmers
and managers in this (sewer) industry make that a pipe dream.
