I agree -- becoming too attached to existing tools is a major drag industry-wide. Even if it's well-designed in the beginning, which from what I've seen is extremely rare, it tends to devolve into a mess given enough time.

To get maximal value out of the tools, everyone has to be willing to toss them when they start to becoming a big enough impediment. (Deciding on that isn't always easy, of course.)
