Good reasons were provided by this 2010-2011 comment. The reasons still apply to me in 2018.
This post is more humorous than serious. Geeks or makers like to experiment to learn new methods. It doesn't mean that the geeks would use these new learned methods all of the time for similar situations when a hammer would be more applicable tha ...
