IMHO this is usually covered by the ‘roll call’ threads (the actual title is really not standard), once or twice a year, where everyone gets to present their full set up, possibly including non-software tools. Here’s the most recent:

It is true that most tools make better sense within a greater context. At the same time, one expects a tool to be versatile enough to fit in different working styles, or else the market for it would be very limited.

In any case, speaking for myself, how much I will actually write depends on the feedback of others. If there is a follow-up, I will be happy to elaborate further.
