I think now you can see that the problem is not the tools but the education system itself. To continue this example, what those schools should teach is not Excel or OpenOffice calc, or Windows vs FiMOS but spreadsheet, word processor or operating system and pick one tools as 'referenced implementation' of these concepts. The same goes to programming language course or we would be forever getting a graduate who only know .NET or Java or even worse ...
