The Lord of the Tools

Jake was commenting about how much he loved Eclipse, especially the fact he can use is as an editor / development tool for all his development needs. He wrote (satired?) this little ditty, which I believe you will recognize. . . .

The Lord of the Tools

9 tools were given to the leaders of open source, for they were the weakest. who hungered for power. 7 to Microsoft developers, who loved darkness, gold, and war. 3 were given to web developers, the fairest and wisest of all. In darkness and with guile, one tool was crafted in the depths of silicon volcano. One tool to rule them all, one tool to find them, one tool to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

After the fall of IBM, the One Tool was lost to the developers. But one day it fell into the hands of the most curious of creatures. An innocent startup who would forever change the course of Middle IT.

I imagine some open source developer might argue with that weakest point (thus the reason he changed it), and I'll give you 3 guesses what kind of developer Jake classifies himself as. . .
