Perhaps we're bad at allocating tools to use cases, particularly for education.

Witness, say, beginner python tutorials that start with "These 15 tools let you set up a development/testing environment that ensures your code can be tested against every platform that has ever run python". Useful tools, but poorly matched to the 'I just want to *learn how to* print "Hello World"' use case. I suspect we're all a little guilty of that occasionally.
