Exactly, if these tools are going to be so revolutionary and different within the next 6 months and even more so beyond that - there's no advantage to being an early adopter since your progress becomes invalid, may as well wait until it is good enough.

Well, yes, this is the thing. I'm somewhat sceptical that these things are going to get good enough to be useful to me on a daily basis, but if they do, then, well, I can just start using them. I'm not going to use a bad tool on the basis that it may one day metamorphose into a good tool.
