Well said. Is your machine shop stocked by a single brand of tools all in the same color, or is it a mix of bits and pieces accumulated, rebuilt, repainted, hacked, begged-borrowed-and-stolen over the course of your development as an engineer?

A free software Unix workstation is exactly the same. It’s supposed to look untidy. It’s a tool shed.

Apologies if I’ve touched a nerve with the Festool crowd with my analogy.
