The Prime is just an Expensive Toy

[rprosperi]

Bravo Claudio. Well done not getting dragged into a mud-slinging match.

Presumably medwatt knew that he wanted a tool with ready-made add-ons for the various things the tool will be used for. IMHO, selecting and buying a tool without as many add-ons as desired is not a weakness of that tool, seems more like a poor vetting process.

On the other hand, there are no tools available, AFAIK, with all the desired traits, so maybe selecting the Prime was not a mistake, and rather it was selecting the best of the 'expensive toys' available, as it comes closest to being the kind of tool desired. But I agree that criticizing the tool for not doing everything desired reveals more about the chooser/choice process than the tool itself. No insult intended, it's just how it comes across.
