Progress doesn't come from endless bitching about existing tools either. Progress comes from writing better tools. Hence my point about how everyone loves to have an opinion about tools but the vast majority of those opinion pieces don't serve as much more than cannon fodder for language flamewars. If you look at the people who have genuinely progressed technology, they spend more time inventing and writing code than soapboxing their opinions. They lead by example rather than simply talking about what they believe we should be doing. Those are far more valuable to the community than egotistical flame bait blog posts.
