- jacquesm 3y agoBecause tool quality is only one dimension to a choice. There are no bad tools: but there are tools that are more suitable to a particular purpose. For instance because of interop, existing infrastructure, team experience, access to specialists, natural fit between tool and problem, availability of existing libraries and so on.
