Luke Crawford on using Ruby on Rails to develop Muxtape:
The thing that’s so wonderful about using beautiful, appropriate tools is that they become an extension of you, your body, you fingertips, and your mind. They get out of the way and let you directly interact with the problem you are solving.
He may as well be talking about the Mac. Good tools are a joy to use, because they work and respond in just the right way, the way you’d expect. It makes work not only that much easier to do, but fun, and that should never be under appreciated.
