Benefit of tools in Software development

Today we were having a great debate on features and flaws of several tools. One thing I noticed during the discussion was, tools are being developed to control the people and process. I am feeling there is something terribly wrong in this concept. Even though I have been using several tools from many years, I had never noticed such a huge influence of tools in software development.


Many a times, the management decision to use a particular set of tools in the organization forces the development team to constrain themselves to adopt to the tool. This constraint reduces the creativity, productivity and enthusiasm in teams.
