I never understand why some devs have so strong preferences over something and are willing to wage wars just to defend what they prefer. It's all contextual, they're just tools, choose whatever works for you in your context. At the end of the day, what matters is that the tools you chose and used pay your bills.

Popular developer opinion guides the industry in that direction. When there are more developers on a certain boat, that boat ends up getting more of the love, effort, community resources, open source contributions, updates, support, and job opportunity. Developers need to shill for their favorite tech stacks because it directly benefits them when other devs hop onto the train and make contributions to add features, stability, tutorials, etc. to the exact thing they currently enjoy using.

It goes a little too far sometimes, yeah, but overall there's no helping that devs will point out the shortcomings of one technology and advocate for the ones they'd rather use instead. Mindshare is important.

We tend to stand by our choices and defend them maybe that is why 🤗 add to that we like to be in groups and trends work by create groups (communities) and that would have loyalty!
