Tools like this encourage people to become hammer developers, that is to say, developers who use and are comfortable with only one language and framework. I have a very strong belief that being a hammer developer is, to put it bluntly, bad. I'm a strong believer in the importance of cross-training. I think it's important to see multiple approaches to problems. To become a great programmer, you need to be exposed to the work of a lot of different great (and not-so-great) programmers, and not just ones working in a the same language and toolset as you. Good developers have both breadth and depth of knowledge to draw upon when solving problems.
