The way I interpreted that point is basically "if you don't think the tool/language/library you're using sucks in some way, you're not using it enough". As in, "opinionated" here doesn't mean "you should use this, everything else sucks" (which is what opinionated usually means in software contexts), it means you have opinions about these things that are founded in experience, not impressions. In that light, you ARE opinionated.

For instance, I am opinionated... but I keep my opinions to my own (e.g., personal projects). When working with others I'm less likely to be like that because, well, everything is more subjective than it seems. From my point of view, there is nothing more junior than being fixated with the idea that tool X is the only tool for job Y.
