Of course it is interesting - this is your major tool. Photographers are obsessed with cameras, programmers with editors...

I do quiet a bit of photography, imho photographers should not be obsessed with camera. and that further implies that this is not a good explanation for programmers to be obsessed with editors. The key word is "obsessed". You should definitely think about it. But save the obsession for other important things.

Such people are properly known as "camera fondlers". [1] Only some of them are actually photographers.
