Your author is writing this article when he has finished his latest task - conducting numerous experiments processing a lot of data, and finally writing the paper in just under five days. He wonders how he would do it without some of the tools he will be talking about in this article, leaving aside the pleasure of working on Linux systems. His views are biased and are meant to be taken cum grano salis, but I hope you will give him a fair chance.
