I was thinking the other day, does in general success is determined by the quality of man?
This quote from movie First Option, pop in mind:
However, Chinese used to say you need to use proper tool, if you want to do a good job (工欲善其事,必先利其器)
From own experience, I feel that the equipment play a big part. I observed my snowboarding as an example that I ride better with Burton SW, than GNU CHB. As the GNU getting old and flat (vs snappy), my turns become less lively. And I saw so many cases of bad equipment hampering student progress. Another example is my badminton racket, with the Ti-7 I can hit it to the back of the court (when I swing properly)
I guess there is certain truth in it.

Being a developer, we definitely can write program with any editor vi or emacs. However, a good programming tool such as eclipse does help a lot in programming. It helps out a lot in code generation, syntax correction or compiling. We can simply focus on the difficult issue such as programming logic. The good tool is just like a coach helping you to excel.
(I don’t mean vi is not great editor)
