Just to make it clear, my post in no way was a recommendation for any particular tool. My personal opinion is that tools are very useful when your "requirement becomes complex". But, tools are no good, if you don't know how to do it otherwise. Tools are no good, if you don't know how to use the various power features offered by your tool.
Just a simple example: If all I want to do is write a letter and print it, do I really need MS Word (and I am not advocating this tool either)? Only when my requirement becomes complex enough, that I might want to use a tool. If I didn't know how to fully use MS Word, how useful and advantageous might this be to me in publishing a set of huge master documents, sub-linked to various other documents? I might as well do it in WordPad and not do anything different, if I only needed to do it once. Far simpler and cheaper!
I also find that overtime, many EA tools have matured significantly. Having said that, I still personally prefer to use the whiteboard, and/or paper & pencil for all initial work, and then transfer them online. You don't need to use a sledge-hammer every time, even if you have one ready and available.
I think the second part of your question deserves to be in its own thread. I'm sure many others might be eager to contribute too.
Best regards,
Joseph
