In my opinion we are using more complicated tools than the job requires.

Yes. And that wouldn't be the fault of the tools. The one wielding the tools is to blame.

Me using a chainsaw to cut a piece of leaf doesn't make the chainsaw "overcomplicated"

I'm wrongly using the right tool for the wrong job. Just like I wouldn't wanna cut a tree log with a hand blade, I wouldn't try to cut a single leaf with a chainsaw.

I think as developers, we've abused our toolsets, thus making our tools appear the bad guy
