I couldn't resist continuing the construction metaphor. A hammer is best for nails and a screwdriver for screws, but sometimes both together are best for something that is neither nail or screw such as an electrician removing knockouts from a box or panel. As an ex-carpenter, I still sometimes see applications for older, even ancient, tools for things that can be done with newer tools, but not as well.

However, you point is well taken that we sometimes get overly attached to the things that we like.

Everything look like a nail to him and he won't let go of his hammer for nothing. Sometime a screwdriver may be a better option to work with a screw.
