I like learning about tools other people use because sometimes someone'll say, "I really love this tool", and I'll give it a try and, hey, what do you know? I love the tool too.

Me too. And sometimes, if a lot of smart people are using a particular tool, there's a reason for it.
An example: Kevin Kelly runs a blog called "Cool Tools" that is about, as the name implies, tools people use that are unusually good at what they do. When I read this: http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/004652.php , I immediately bought one, loved it, and wrote this post: http://jseliger.com/2010/09/04/highly-recommended-the-best-b... .
I agree with the DP -- some of this stuff is fashion -- but not all of it is.
