I completely agree with this. Its not about quantity of lines-of-code or words-per-minute, its about being able to hold an idea as you execute it. Ive seen developers using a laptop keyboard and a trackpad losing focus as they try and implement something and they stuggle with the keyboard and moving the mouse pointer. Someone who has the right tools and knows how to use them well can focus on the higher-order problems more easily. Its the same in any profession.

Just a general question...whats the chance of Mozilla ditching gecko and using webkit? Firefox's strength isnt the rendering engine, its all the add-ons. Chrome is very elegant, but i dont see myself using it, because im addicted to things like firebug...
