Because for people outside our little industry the software is a tool to

Valdis Kletnieks responded:
It doesn't take long for the average mechanic to learn that buying cheap
wrenches is a bad idea.

to which Alex replied:
Do you take your car to McLaren service center? Why not? They definitely
have better tools.

To which I say:
No, but if the mechanic I did go to had a habit of using tools that regularly
caused my car to halt and catch fire with me in it, I think I'd switch
mechanics until I found somebody that used more reliable tools.
