There have been great FLOSS dev tools for decades—it's one of the few areas with "an embarrassment of riches." Other areas so-so, but dev tools are top notch and ubiquitous.

Definitely one area we don't have to compromise principles.

It's also important how its distributed, if in a main distribution at least a pair of eyes or two have looked at the source.

The dev tools that are not developed or supported by a for profit corporation that are “top notch” are not “great”
