That's where I would recommend one thing to other software people as a software person myself: make your own tools.
I started writing a little notepad type thing just so I could have a cross platform tool with a set bunch of capabilities no matter what OS I'm on.
It's very rewarding to just want something, make it, and use it.
It can be simple, it can be complicated... It can work like everything else does or only in a way that works for you.
It's very freeing to work on something where you don't have to ask fifteen people what the requirements are and then have them change under you. If your tool is useful and you use it you don't even need testing overhead either.
I highly recommend it. Build your own tools when you find the existing ones to be frustrating. Or just for fun to see if you can.
