I am a young(ish) hacker, and I'm proud not to engage in religious nonsense like this at all. Windows, Linux, OSX, who cares? Get on with the coding already.

A real craftsman cares for the tools he uses. And it's not a religious issue - it's just that the thing is taking up space on an NTFS partition. I can store better stuff in that space.

A real craftsman also cares about having the output of his craft be useful/enjoyable to other people. And sometimes this means, having to make it work on a system that other people use, and not the one that you use. Just saying.

Sometimes a real craftsman needs one of those esoteric tools that they usually have no need for.

Because they're different. Craftsmen like to learn and make distinctions and use the best tool for the job.
