On the getting old part, there's definitely a point where someone has enough bagage thay most additional tools are solving a problem they already worked around or solved a different way. For someone new to the field, this tool is on the same footing as the rest and could fit them better. As an aside, the part I like the most about our field is the ability for a single or two devs to build themselves the tools they exactly need, and potentially share it to the community with low friction.
