The problem is that the tools let people do shit that doesn't matter, and it's distracting them from learning the shit that matters

the thing that concerns me about opinionated tools in general is they simultaneously force people to subscribe wholesale to their way of doing things while obscuring the fact that they represent just one (meta-)designer's opinion about how the process should go

I genuinely do not think that the people making the tools are aware that they're articulating an opinion!

ah i was thinking more on the framework side, like react or whatever is definitely an opinion; something like rails is very explicitly an opinion

Do React devs (as in the devs who work on React) know that there is any other way?

isn’t this like 50/50 split between workers and businesses? i think an example is something like salesforce which has too much noise and the business has no intention for the tool should facilitate so everyone goes in circles until there is some consultant that upsells the investment again
