I've always had a slight mistrust of the "use the best tool for the job" metaphor, but for reasons I can never quite figure out.
In a programming context my unease usually revolves about one of these:
- often uttered when serious comment was desired
- best is often a grail, several tools may be nearly equivalent
- personal bias or hidden agendas may be involved
- the implied dismissal of the importance of the tool user's experience
- perhaps the job is not defined well enough for such decisions
