Most artisans have tools that they've come to know especially well and work most efficiently with. They do better and more efficient work with those tools than tools they haven't committed themselves to as much. Their tools feel good and seamless; others' tools feel alien and jerky.

It's inevitavle, universal, and often doesn't even have much to do with the theoretical or consensus quality of tools themselves. Your mechanic, nurse, and landscaper all experience this.

But you know, sometimes there's a cool job that involves using somebody else's tools. Unless you're a really hardcore specialist charging huge sums for your specific efficiency, it's usually worth considering those jobs even if it feels clunky at first. If you commit to getting acquainted with the new shop's tools, you'll find that they largely disappear and become just as seamless as the ones you're accustomed to.

I'm quite agnostic about editors and keyboard layouts.

I'll use Vim, Emacs and VSCode every week, whichever is at hand. I'll even use nano if I have to.

I'll switch between Qwerty, Dvorak and Pinyin, no flinching. Azerty? I can adapt.

Windows, however? No thanks.
