Honestly, if your programming your ECU or something. I wouldn't risk potentially bricking your car. It is a tool after all, something like how I prefer mikita over Milwaukee but I'll use it to get the job done if needed.
Edit: ECU software can be a little finicky. Jayztwocents built a PC for his mechanic friend and the application refused to start because it wasn't an Intel CPU.
I thought it was funny,
