I think this gets at why people keep going back to old, time-tested tools. All new languages, frameworks, and tools seem to converge on the same things with enough time. Carpentry, computers, and programming languages all end up with a router.

They also end up with some kind of cruft, or annoyance. A time-tested tool has time-tested failure modes. Everyone eventually figures out they need to start a nail with taps and remove their hand before swinging. Some people prefer to figure it out on their own, others like to know the path ahead.
