Well, I rarely respond/contribute to these technical banters
as the answer/solution is always the same...use the appropriate
available tools that best augment your particular time/quality/
production requirements, end of story. Serious pros and amatures
simply keep abreast of what's out there and "Pluck and employ"
as required.

However, to imply that someone has a closed mind for stating his
preference as it applies to his workload...well, "That dog don't
hunt" ;-/
