A real craftsman cares for the tools he uses. And it's not a religious issue - it's just that the thing is taking up space on an NTFS partition. I can store better stuff in that space.

A real craftsman also cares about having the output of his craft be useful/enjoyable to other people. And sometimes this means, having to make it work on a system that other people use, and not the one that you use. Just saying.

Sometimes a real craftsman needs one of those esoteric tools that they usually have no need for.
