In my experience you can classify people into two herds: those who, when faced with a problem, solve it directly; and those who, faced with the same problem, try to fit it to the tools they want to use. I like to think this is a maturity question, but I can't think I've actually seen someone make the transition from the latter to the former type.

I think you mean "use the tools they already know".
> those who, faced with the same problem, try to fit it to the tools they want to use
I think you mean "use the correct tools for the job".
> I like to think this is a maturity question
It is, but the direction of maturity is from the first case to the second.
