Like most complex choices, I think it probably comes down to personality and your preference for a certain style.

Going out on a limb, let me speculate that One Way To Do It probably suits army types more than English Lit majors, and TIMTOWTDI probably better suits the latter.

For me, it's been cool to be able to pick up the baby talk in no time flat, and then to be able to enjoy the ongoing experience of the swiss army bits and pieces.

I like not having a defined end point to my education.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
