Sure, it's also definitely a problem of reach. But that's true for everything. I cannot care about the perfect tool that's out there if I don't know that it exists. It's a tautology. I do not have opinions on things I don't know I should have opinions about :D

Staying the realm of the known, in my final question, the "a thousand different reasons" I include many of the logical choices (as in "of logic") we make factoring in: time to market, the ability to sell something to colleagues or managers, familiarity, marketing, time itself (as we can't take forever to make a choice), the perceived malleability of software ("well, if it's the wrong tool, I'll change it down the line"), "wisdom of crowd factor" and many others.

I too don't have an aswer. I wonder if it's because there simply isn't one.

I think you're probably right, all the way through :)
