Uo1 forgot to mention the joy of balancing quite large stones on the corner of the krafser blade and with a circular motion of the wrist and lower arm, lobbing them quite long distances. You wouldn't be doing that with a trowel or a dutch hoe and it doesn't require the back or knee bend required with the long handled shovel.....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
