Woa, Chris,

Unless you are making a living from in it, you're not pro.  That's what pro
means.  That doesn't mean you're not talented.  The whole point about the
tools is this:  Pros make money from it all, therefore pros like to up the
money to time spent ratio, therefore pros spend money on tools that save
time.

Just that.
