Professionalism is a hard term to define, but the goal is high quality software.
High quality software is built when quality is valued over other things. This can happen both at the individual or institutional levels. A good professional developer can point out missed requirements, unhandled states. A good professional company can also catch these ahead of time with good process and by eliciting feedback from experts.
In Bob's article about tools, he mostly argues that while tools are great and can help us avoid mistakes, they are useless for people who don't care to use them correctly. At least that's the gist I get. If you value quality over other things, new tools can make you an even better developer, and possibly save you from disaster. If you don't, then you will likely either not use the new tools, or use them incorrectly.
