Agree. Reminds me of some of my friends who will obsess over the specs on a digital camera (or the power of a particular model of PC or Mac) and completely ignore setting up and composing a good photo. Wanna be purists I guess. Many years ago I put together some shell scripts using awk, sed and an early shell. The were used to do an estimating system in the business that I was involved in at the time. They were crude and the code was really bad and I had at the time really little clue on how to do things the correct way. Had I had to learn c to do the same thing (which I did somewhat a bit later) I would have never ended up with anything at all. Professionals laughed but the people who bought the business ended up using the system that I wrote for about 4 or 5 years until they found something to replace it. It got the job done. Under the hood what was going on (in this particular case I have to stress as this was pre-net and only used internally) wasn't really a factor.
