I used rocks few times as kid to build some forts from scrap wood. You could nail the framing together for any modern house with a rock.

However, if you bend any nails you can't pull the nail out like with a normal framing hammer. Plus you can drive a nail faster with a proper hammer. So just use a hammer.

Problem is with software the tool also become part of what your working on. So it's never quite like this hammer and stone analogy.

Really a better analogy would be fasteners. So for instance we just have screws, nails, and joints. A simplified thing comparison would look like this, and they all become part of what your building.

  Nails
    Pros
      Fast to drive
      Still pretty strong
    Easier to remove mistakes or to disassembly.
    Cons
      Not as strong as other methods of fastening
      May crack wood if driven at the end of a board.

  Screws
    Pros
      Almost as fast as nails with a screw gun.
      Stronger joint than nails.
    Cons
      Can crack wood like nails without pre-drilling.
      Slower to remove.

  Joints
    Pros
      Strong as the wood used.
      Last as long the wood.
    Cons
      Very slow requires chiseling and cutting wood into tight inter locking shapes.
      If it's any type of joint with adhesive it can't be taken apart.
