What I will say on the topic of tooling is that I learned to do woodworking, metalcraft, and a bunch of other artisan skills using tools that were over a century old, and they're still as usable today as they were 25 years ago when I was learning the difference between messing around to learn and crafting something carefully.
You can't say that for anything related to computers, so I'm not going to address that today.
So, when I say fifty years isn't a long time for tools, I'm saying that everything since code was run on the first microprocessor barely counts as a tool in my book, they just aren't stable enough yet.
Which brings us to my main point.
Appliances, specifically appliance grade computing.
