Honestly, my experience is that developers are, on the whole, incredibly conservative about changing their ways. When I was still an active Java dev, I would, along with a couple of other peers, solve a lot of problems in one of our codebase with the YourKit profiler, but the use never spread - people would prefer to grind out the thing they already know and thrash around blindly to spending a day or two learning an easier way of solving a problem.

It's great that you found one that worked in your particular situation, but my exerpience has been quite the opposite. And it's not from a lack of being forced to try.
