<a href="/wiki/2021-08-07-14-14-23">Restrictions bring out creativity</a> by forcing you to create compromises and <a href="/wiki/2021-07-13-20-23-13">Tradeoffs lock yourself in a position</a>.

Even from trending topics, there are people who are already creating extraordinary results with simpler tools.

</p><ul><li><p>Luhmann, the man who popularized the <a href="/wiki/2021-04-22-14-00-50">Zettelkasten</a> method, by using a physical drawer of notes.
|

|
|
With the limited physical space of the paper and the amount of information he often interacts with, he has to create a system that can easily refer to various papers.
|
||
|
|
Compare this to modern workflows such as <a href="/wiki/2020-05-09-12-48-23">Roam Research</a>, <a href="roam:org-roam">roam:org-roam</a>, and <a href="roam:Dendron">roam:Dendron</a>.
|

|
|
</p></li><li><p>Text editors with terminal versus kitchen-sink IDEs.
|
||
|
|
However, with the advent of protocols that enable IDE-like features, the line between them is getting blurry.
|

</p></li><li><p>The core of the <a href="https://suckless.org/philosophy/">Suckless philosophy</a> by removing all of the cruft and removing as much needless features as possible to maintain quality.
|

</p></li></ul><p>Practically, it all comes to their <a href="/wiki/2020-04-23-23-21-47">Personal information management</a> skills.
|
||
|
|
It all depends on their use cases and if the tool is suitable to their workflow.
|
||
|
|
People can make simpler tools integrate with complex setups and complex tools can make their workflow simpler.
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, there are <a href="/wiki/2021-09-16-11-45-21">Problems with simpler tools</a> that often comes with preferring this type of tools.
