This isn't my experience _at all_. Until about six months ago, I carried a Fujifilm X-E2. It's an older camera (~2014), and was 16.3 MP. I upgraded to an X-Pro3, which is 26.1MP. Given that the MP stat increases with the square of resolution, that's not a huge change. My iPhone X has a 12MP camera, the same as the iPhone 13 Pro. The technical resolution _doesn't matter_. It hasn't mattered since the 10MP barrier was breached. I would prefer the Nikon that I carried in ~2004 to the iPhone 13 Pro for "photography". Note that that is in quotes, because "photography" is very different from "taking pictures". I use my iPhone when I'm with my family most of the time and it's great for that. It's great for documenting activities and "capturing memories". That's not at all the same thing as "photography". My X-Pro3 can produce excellent images at 12,800 ISO and f/1.4. My iPhone doesn't even tell me what ISO its capable of as far as I know, has a static f/2.4 aperture, and the OS "Camera" app doesn't even let me set shutter speed. It does "does its best". They aren't comparable tools.

I use many of the one you’ve listed. In addition: SublimeMerge and Sublime Text. Alfred. Iterm2. Datagrip. Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I’ve built multiple long-lived apps as a single dev. The productivity this stacks gives is incomparable and the joy of writing Ruby - irreplaceable. CSS - elegant and powerful when used as intended. fzf Davinci resolve Photoshop and Lightroom. Figma is incredible. Finally an editor which defaults to what I’m trying to accomplish. Breadboarding diagrams (see rjs’ work). Basecamp is irreplaceable for collaboration and makes any other tool feel like unnecessary agony. Things for personal gtd style todo lists. Google sheets and google docs are more than good enough. My 82 year old father wrote a 500 page book using google docs and went over editing suggestions with the book editor - without major hiccups. SCSS is still great and useful. Utopia.fyi for fluid typography and spacing. Fujifilm xpro3 with 23mm f1.4 lens brought me back the joy of photography.
