Toolbox vs. religious zealotry. Sometimes, one has to maintain .bat files, Tcl, F77, or COBOL. Professionals don't whine or wince, but do the job.

Absolutely. Bytecode doesn't care what compiled it to bytecode.

Customers also do not really care what something is or isn't built in, except if the product is made for developers.

The vast majority of products are made for non-developers.
