So many tools so little time

About the question, "So many tools that do the same thing....I found myself asking.....do we have too many things going on at once....are there problems with overlap... are we dividing our effort?" Probably so, but if you don't have diversification and overlap you'll end up with stagnation. This "too many things going on at once" is just each guy trying to make a better product and becoming rich and successful. There is the problem of having enough time to learn new programs. Usually most of us learn to use a program and tend to stick with it.
