@wycats I think this is a way to dismiss that there are tools far superior than others.

@antoinelyset There are few tools that are the best for everything. Ecosystem matters (a LOT). -
@wycats But ecosystem is absolutely vital. -
@antoinelyset Yes. Ecosystem has diminishing returns, but reaching critical mass on ecosystem is a huge thing.

@wycats This. One of my least favorite phrases ever. We've all got opinions and preferences. I respect folks who own them infinitely more. -
@erniemiller@wycats I don’t think the phrase is inherently bad, but everyone should logically distinguish between “bad” and “not my way” -
-
@erniemiller@wycats I think best is usually understood to be highly subjective. Read: recommended given known facts and options. -
@thephw@erniemiller I hear "Why are you using Rails for that? Clearly <Rust|Go|JS> is the best tool for the job" trying to suck you in

@wycats nobody intends to use the wrong tool. They always think of what they reached for as the right tool -
@steveklabnik@wycats the argument for "best tool" frequently boils down to "the tool I enjoy using for this job". - 1 more reply
