Just as "a bad workman (or workwoman) blames his (or her) tools", so "a good workman (or workwoman) praises his (or her) tools". Consequently I spend a good proportion of my time evaluating my tools, my tools being a text editor and a spanner (or wench).
It seems like every week there's a new text editor, and so I schedule regular time to evaluate the newcomer, and compare it against all existing text editors. Simple maths indicates that the amount of time required to compare a new text editor with the growing number of previous text editors expands exponentially. I estimate that by the end of next year I will be spending several months every week evaluating my tools (not including spanners (or wrenches)).
