On the other hand, I have a friend that's been using minimalist systems more and more, we talk a lot and he seems to have no problems with productivity, and maintaining/compensating doesn't take him much time. > If you ask me, it pays to just learn to be flexible and learn to appreciate and work with the strengths of a software even if you don't like some aspects of it. I want to be flexible in my work, but not with my tools. Having to be flexible with my tools means that I can never reach a level of mastery. I would be building my skills on shaky ground.
