Yes, but that's different. You are judging people by their output, not by their tools, and that's just fine.

I've seen people produce absolute miracles using fairly archaic tools showing a very deep level of understanding of both the problem and the domain. Forcing them into some kind of straightjacket to use 'modern tools' would be the same as taking Itzhak Perlman's Soil Stradivarius away to force him to play on an electric violin just to get with the times.
