Bad craftsmen blame the tools.
Sorry, but this is such an oft-applied aphorism that I feel it needs a corollary:
A good craftsman has the wisdom to select the right tool for the job.
Of course, the "right" tool for a job might, and often does, vary from craftsman to craftsman.
It probably wouldn't be "craft" were that not the case.
As long as it's not Java, right? :P
