As the core technologies we use to do our jobs evolve, becoming more sophisticated and more capable, so then do the tasks that we are expected to accomplish. As an example, with the evolution of PowerShell into V.2 you have a lot more power to do things you were not able to do with V.1. Therefore, the tools that you use to work with these core technologies have to evolve as well.
