This is quite true. However, it's also a poor workman who doesn't try to
increase amount, quality and efficiency of his/her work. And this goes
through updating his toolbox and his ability to use what's inside it.
You can do almost everything in Eu. But, too often, in an error prone, time
consuming way. Hence, some changes/additions are needed, not because you
absolutely can't do without them, but because you get software developed in
less time with less many bugs. This is even more important when so many
users develop in their spare time.
