I couldn't have gotten a more completely close-minded reply had I asked for it. According to jls@rutabaga.Rational.COM (Jim Showalter): >If the only people using a tool are incompetent, then what does it matter >if the tool itself is value-neutral? Isn't it obvious that "current users" and "future users" are not necessarily the same groups? >Shouldn't one judge a tool by the quality of the work produced through >its use? How else, in fact, WOULD you judge a tool? I judge a tool by how I would use it.
