I guess I'm just one of those people who does not like non-reliable tools. I rather a tool be "dumb" (i.e. limited) but reliable than "smart" (i.e. flexible in what it can handle) but (silently!) screws up all the time. It's what I always liked about computers. They compensate for my failings as an error prone flesh bag. My iPhone won't forget my appointments like I do.
