As a computer science, I use tools that suit me in ways that I find that makes doing my job more faster and effective. If there is a faster, more streamline and easier method of doing the same task with a different tool, I will immediately adopt it to my toolbox.
This semester I really discovered the power of using the Cygwin to compile my C programs on windows. It comes with a terminal that functions just like a UNIX terminal, but in a windows operating environment.
One of my favorite tools to use is Sublime Text, which coincidentally is a text editor that I used over Emacs because I thought the latter was extremely clunky and awkward to use.
Currently tools, are starting to become more similar to each other as newer versions start become available. What I could see happening is that eventually there is going to be a point where there could be lawsuits occurring when companies will start suing other companies on basis on infringement. This could also spur more innovations to make tools more effective, such as haptic feedback or alternate means of input.
I've never heard of those tools before! That's great, because I have something new to try, if you do recommend them. There is a glaring typo in the first sentence at the time I’m posting this, just to mention! But anyways, it’s also interesting, your forecast of how the competing companies will react to each other’s similar programs. Flappy Bird comes to mind!
