A real craftsman uses tools appropriate for the application and works
to expand the scope/range of those tools and necessary experiences
with them, so as to be better able to bring more options to the table
for clients.

To be proud of being limited is what struck me funny about your
comment above It reminded me of an phrase I once heard -- "To a man
with a chainsaw, everything looks like a tree."

Wow! Tons of truisms, irrelevant BS and personal insults. This is how zealots defend their beliefs. I used to think we talk about the technology.

OK, I have to return back to work now. Just another ~20k lines project. For AVR, BTW. Enjoy your Sunday :)
