I was writing a very similar post today. Thank god I didn't complete it. It would have looked stupid before this post :) :) I wish everyone will understand someday that basics are basics of everything. My experience is shared by many geeks out there: Whenever I come across a new software, it takes very less time for me to learn it. And others think I am very *talented* or *geek* or something similar. But they forget that there are basics involved. Most of softwares follow some standards of UI, don't they? So I just use them and get praised for my genius learning skills :D AAishapath!! I was writing a very similar post today. Thank god I didn’t complete it.

But the basics are important. It depends on how much you want to achieve in what time which is the primary reasons for using tools. One can use log books to calculate, or a calculator or a computer.... but we do use computers because it makes it faster, easier and "almost" perfect :) Of course, one needs tools… But the basics are important.

Photography is a perfect example. You can have the best camera and be in a beautiful place but still miss the point. I agree: it’s not about the tools but the talent.
