Eh, tools matter.

Yes, the best camera is always the one in your hand.

Premise of this article is that you don't really own a 'disposable' pen. Well semantics aside, sure I agree.

That said, I like tools that I know are reliable, enjoyable to use, and preferably last for many years if possible.

I could type on a cheap ass keyboard but I like having a nice comfortable solid keyboard.

I could write all my notes with cheap pens but they may have performance issues. Therefore I like writing with MY personal pen. It's reliable. Applies consistent ink. Doesn't really smudge. Replaceable cartridges that seem to last longer than a cheap pen would. And it just looks and feels cool.
