a principle applicable in many places:

this is why some may prefer simpler tools and methods because a lot of what they want is already done
getting the final 20% would require more effort and when done incorrectly, you could go into some trouble
- bikeshedding
- in learning, you could be overlearning
- in development, you could optimize to the point of
- you may have done configuring your editor in a matter of days reaching the ideal workflow
