Hear, hear. Maybe I'm just too pragmatic, but in general I just try to be reasonably familiar with the tools, and pick the right one for a task. It doesn't matter whether we're talking programming languages, editors, or Linux distros. Just look at the task, look at your arsenal of tools, pick the best one for the task at hand, and move on.
Honestly, people who insist on using one tool (albeit a good one) for every task, really frustrate me. No tool, no matter how good, is the right fit for every task. It's like trying to write a webpage in assembly, or a device driver in JavaScript. It just isn't the right fit, and you'll spend inordinate amounts of time trying. Okay. Done ranting for now.
