I mean, you yourself wrote this the other day: > I had to work with SAP Hybris a year or two ago. My IDE was not smart enough. Well actually I spent a good number of days trying to configure my IDE to be able to work properly with Hybris. I failed. What a mess Are you a bad workman blaming your tools? Or do some tools just genuinely have faults?

he said "I failed" not "the tool failed"

While lamenting the tools. They also wrote "my IDE was not smart enough".
