Gary,
A tool is a tool is a tool. I too have come from a TS background and
prior to that I wrote a variety of my own stuff to run on mainframes
and midrange hardware. The tools are of course great and clearly
some are better than others and which are which will depend to a
large degree on the yardsticks one uses. IMHO it's not the tool
that's poisonous, it's simply a tool.
