You can do a bad job with any tool but you cannot do a good job with any tool.

This is patently untrue, give a craftsman terrible tools, and they'll still produce a decent end result. That said, defaults matter, and astro is going to be significantly more friendly out-of-the-box to low-end clients

This is an absurd statement. Just because something is a proverb, doesn't mean it's automatically true for all cases.

A professional woodcarver armed with only a metal spoon will still make a nicer woodcarving than I can given a full wood shop. Similarly, if you only give me notepad.exe, I can still make a pretty nice website.

Does using the right tools make our lives easier? For sure. Using mildly-wrong tools (react, in this case) isn't going to hold us back very much though.

i dont think thats a proverb though? the actual idiom is more like

> A poor workman blames his tools

which is towards the opposite meaning
