Pardon me, Dean, but...

I'm with John here. And I can say this: we, the top commiters have no
complaints about the tools. We will use whatever tools are available.
(at least I speak for Hartmut, John, Volodya and I; but I have a strong
feeling that Steven and Daniel agree too).

Again, let me emphasize this: (now I am quoting the positive version):

   A Good Craftsman Never Blames His Tools

And I think what Volodya meant is that more than anyone else, it is
us who are in the position to determine if we are using the right tool
or whether the tools are making us effective. And... hmmm, I think
we are effective ;-)
