It's such a weird take. You have a project, it costs X to make. Either it's worth it or it's not worth it. Some tool might bring the cost down, but the breakdown is the same. If X is too high, don't do the project.

If the tools you use are cheaper, shouldn't it make you more competitive? If the expensive tools are worth it, wouldn't it mean that you can jack your price? Where's the problem?
