Exactly. If specific tools allow specific people to work better, great. I completely support them. But it's unfair to say that what works for some will work for all.

My goal when adapting practices is to adapt the practices that allow each developer on the team to work in the way that's best for them, and to avoid rules that limit developers in their choices.

Always willing to update when a clear case is made, though. Recently I stopped my rule of "80 characters per line max" because I don't think 80 character wide screens are common enough to warrant my consideration. Now I limit line length based on what makes that line of code most easily digestible--whether 30 characters, 80, 140.
