Its all just devices. Use what you like. There is no ethos involved.
I tend to keep stuff, because I hate the process of selling. I also find that the less I sell, the less I buy. Often I find out that my dissatisfaction with a piece of gear has little to
do with the gear, and I end up "rediscovering" (realizing there was nothing wrong with) the given guitar, amp, pedal or modeler in the first place.
All that to say that the equipment is there to serve your purposes. If you're happy with your choice, you're right.
