I'm still amazed that some people still don't get the simple fact that time is money (in a commercial environment). I see a lot of people stuck with using old, slow PCs, poor tools, etc., all because their management won't pay to upgrade their working environment.
I still see people using PCs with only 1 GB of RAM, single 15" monitors, hard drives instead of an SSD, etc. It's amazing what some people will put up with and how cheap management can be. It's this kind of short-sighted, penny-wise-pound-foolish thinking that leads to projects way over schedule and full of bugs.
Good tools, relatively speaking, don't cost much and they generally return more value than they cost in the long run. For example, no one should be using a PICKit3 for commercial development--ICD3 should be the minimum. Heck, if I was at a company where they expected me to use a PK3, I'd buy an ICD3 with my own money just to keep my sanity.
Maybe corporate bean counters should be forced to use Excel 2.0 on a PC from 1992 for a few months so they can experience for themselves what it's like to work with out of date, inferior tools.
