Like Don Norman says, attractive things work better.

And there's always a good reason to go evangelical/Apple about it. A day you spend using tools that you love using is a better day than one where you are using tools that bring you no joy.

As far as evangelizing goes, I'm much more interested in the things you love than the things you hate.

Be careful to not love your tools more than the things you create with them.

It's all in your mind. Simple tools are king. They allow you to be creative anytime, not just when holding the "right" tool.

Everyone has a complex relationship with their muse.

Fetishizing gear such that you use lack of the right gear as an excuse to not create, or spend all your time acquiring gear and not using it is definitely toxic.

But, also fetishizing minimalism such that you end up with a process that is all self-flagelating toil and misery is also toxic.

Everyone's gotta navigate the boundary between those themselves.

In any case, being evangelical is by definition toxic behavior.
