Happy new year 2008!

I have this question about tools we use in our every day lives, for example, as a programmer and web designer, I tend to prefer some tools over others, even if I consciously know that these alternatives are better; my problem is that, whenever I have spent a long time to familiarize myself with something, I find departing difficult; I hope new versions, including features that people praise in the alternatives will come up, but they never come; so, I stay here, with my *old* tool, with no willing to learn anything else.

Do you think this attachment is a bad thing, or should we use things just for what they are and complete the task they are supposed to accomplish?
