If I adopted the "buy a real programmer" attitude, I'd be taking my car
back to the dealer for oil changes and new tires, too.  I have a good
programmer (EPIC+ from microEngineering Labs, a Tait style design) and am
considering an even better one (Warp-13).  Reason I haven't bought a
Warp-13?  Well, the EPIC does everything I need it to do, without
exception, and has never once failed...  so there's been no need so far.

Some people seem to think that if the manufacturer offers a tool at any
price, that's the only tool you should use.  I tend to believe that even
if the manufacturer offers a tool, you should look at others because they
may well be better, or may be of equal quality at a far lower cost.  Just
my own personal opinion.
