Being a user of your own tool - good or bad?

Sometimes you hear 'you are not your user', but sometimes you actually are.

    If you are not a user of your own tool, who will be your user?

    My main interest is creating developer tooling, and I decided some time ago to only build tools I'd use myself. I find it helps me a lot with motivation to continue improving and maintaining them.
    It's also easier to find ideas and implement features that I believe are missing.

    Basically "feeling the pain" myself to make things better!
