These are questions that I have when looking at tools: Have I earned it? Does it solve an actual problem? Can I support it? Do I even have room for it? Do I still need it? Should I clear that space for more?
I'd love to say that there's an easily definable point for each acquisition, each investment, but there's not. At some point, not having an appropriate tool proves too burdensome. That's where I tend to sit, but not always.
All tools solve problems, but the more your problem strays from the tool intended solution, the more complicated things get. The more nebulous the problem, the more complex the tool. They're really tool boxes, collections of tools, which require more investment, as each sub-tool provides value with its own mechanism.
