Sure, but in many situations the tool you already have and understand trumps the theoretically better suited tool you have to pick up at the hardware shop and train your team to use.
The logical extreme would otherwise be to switch to a new tool whenever one comes out that is objectively better at a given task and retrain every team member that was previously using the old tool and rewrite the code that relies on the old tool to use the new tool.
This balance is called pragmatism and it's more important in the real world than the objective quality of tools you don't already have in your toolbelt.
