Exactly what I was thinking while scrolling through comments - These people have not used IBM tools

• laumars 5y ago
  I’ve used worse tools. I’ve also used better tools. I’ve had a pretty long career in IT and in that time I’ve learned that comparing ones tooling (or even just software in general) against the worst in the industry only leads one to repeated settle for terrible. What we should be doing is striving to do better. And in fact those who do say “fuck this shit, we can do better” are those more likely to disrupt their specific fields. So no, I don’t buy that people who’ve used worse are more likely to put up. It’s jaded people who have lost interest in technology who are the ones who settle. The rest of us keep on pushing for something better.
