We're all volunteers here so we each make our own decision about how and where we spend our time. There *are* however proven, stable tools that improve the Python coding and maintenance experience and for me, tox is one of those. There are others, such as nose2, that I won't even start a new project without adopting from the first commit. I'm happy to help people who are interesting in learning more about these tools, and welcome a discussion with others about what tools and techniques they find must-have for Python development.
