I am seeing myself in that same league, more as a technical driven 3d artist. so far i couldn't dive into the creation platform that much, but i talk a lot to helge, and he is giving me confidence that this is an useful thing for people like me (us). for now I just have my "custom operator" thinking, keeping all in soft image and process all math via creation platform. like having a custom ice node, besides i won't need to code that in c++ (and there is the catch, cause I can't code in C#). but i guess that won't stop there. (exciting!) all these modules the guys from fabric come up with, build up a pretty toolbox so far. for now i do not have an urgent need for a tool (maybe i have, the moment I really understand what all this is about), but i hope i can finally find some time to check that stuff out.
