There are some things that just don't interest me ie, die cutters, computer design programs, sergers and embroidery machines. I stick to regular rulers, 4,6,8,12,18 sq and 6x24, 6x12. I also have several triangle rulers and lent my 60 degree ruler and can't remember who has it... I like 505 spray, have many Thangles, only used one, need to give alway 8 sets.
So, I guess I don't get overwhelmed but It is nice to know what is available and it is something that would make it easier to do what I want to do then I would know what to get. I am glad those that make beautiful quilts with the design programs and use the die cutters, sergers and embroidery machines.
