Being very honest? Pretty sure you are!
I understand design as a job - that easy. It’ll mean, that every craft requires sharpened tools - literally.
And our tool(s)? Latest Software running on systems allowing them to do so. I’ve neither time nor budget fiddling around. It has be a JustWork™. That’s why I chose a Mac (back in 1995 the first time).
And yes - I do design based on a budget.
