As an example, even though I'm not a designer, I use Photoshop to create assets for my software. That would the same tool that my father, an ex-lithographer, uses for DTP and digital retouching.

A counter-example to my idiot-using-rocket-scientists'-tools is my girlfriend.

She comes home and Excel is the thing she uses for anything even vaguely resembling a list.
