I also think that there is a place for sharpening one’s tools just for its own sake Everyone forgets this. I use Vim, GNOME, Arch and other less common toolchains because they are fun and hackable. I KNOW they make things harder for me, but I also program and design for a living and it is my primary vocation. I BETTER have fun using my tools.

That's probably a better way to think about it, rather than everyone having to spend so much time justifying their choice of tools, and feeling guilty if they don't spend hours constantly chasing slightly improved efficiency like a robot.
