If you are a professional, you will use the most effective tool for the job - to get results. What tool will produce the best results - schedule, budget, quality, maintainability, scalabi, portability, etc.?

Other than outliers that will crush your productivity, or multiply it, your feelings are pretty irrelevant.

Similarly, when you get into a racecar, your feelings about your preferred driving style are irrelevant - if you can change the setup to accommodate your style without slowing jt down, great = but if not, your job is to adapt to the situation and reliably get the best possible result.

Either way, you have fun and produce a crap result, you will not be congratulated (or re-hired), and if you have little fun and produce a great result, you'll get both.

If it's a hobby, do whatever you want.

Obviously, in terms of professional development, you want to use more forward looking tools, but what is the best measure of that - your feelings or results?
