Absolutely. Just like I often have to tell clients who've just informed 
me they need 5 servers and 17 computers to "do accounting," but they 
haven't even chosen any programs: First decide the tasks you want to do, 
then we'll choose or develop software to do it, and only then we'll 
choose platforms on which to run the software. We all know better, or 
ought to, than to tout one tool over another before we even know the 
problem space.

Personally, I figure we can just do it in bash, grep, awk and sed. :-D
