If you invest your time wisely, it will pay off handsomely.  People are used to computers changing on them, getting new machines, blank and default.  They are used to changing applications, changing software, changing operating systems, changing UIs.

If you invest your time in tried and true tools, then what you create, what you learn can serve you for years, decades even.  Configuration snippets, scripts and functionality I created over a decade ago still benefits me now, as well as the skills I've learned.  That is the unstated advantage of using good tools.

It is precisely because I DON'T want to mess around, that I think ability to configure and build your own tools is important.  I want to make my machine work for me, and continue to do so until *I* decide that the problem it is solving no longer needs to be solved.
