It's not a craftsmen's discussion. A craftsman picks the tools they feel the most comfortable with to get the job done.

Sure, craftsmen like to discuss their tools, but as an open exchange about their experiences in order to learn from it, or maybe even simply out of professional curiosity.

The whole "my stack is better than your stack", and the "PHP sucks" thing that is commonplace on HN, proggit and other forums is not a craftsmen's discussion. It's a juvenile playground pissing contest that has nothing to do with craftsmanship.

By the way, anybody who thinks that real crafsmen typically use the "best" tools available has never seen neither an artist nor a plumber at work.
