I find that some people really care about the work and that the tools are just a means to an end.

Other people love certain tools so much that "the work" is actually just an excuse to use their favorite tool in more elaborate and challenging ways. Their attitude is something like "and now for my next trick..."

The funny part, to me is that I've never been able to see one method as producing better results than another. I've seen work focused folks produce bad output and I've seen tool focused folks get caught up in their tools and never produce anything at all.

But I've also seen both types produce masterpieces.

Just different approaches and personalities I think.
