I am going to start sounding like a dinosaur but I really hate this dev tendency to trash the old way as soon as the new way comes out. I am seeing it with all the devs advocating for mise over asdf, and a year ago they were all singing asdf’s praises. I think we can advocate for better while still thanking those we are building upon. Long winded way of saying: thanks to the cocoapods maintainers, you made iOS dev better for a lot of people.

This can't be true, many people recognized all the deficiencies contemporaneously and even complained about them publicly?

Not sure what you mean exactly, but what I assume happens is someone finds the new thing and the old things deficiencies become more apparent because they are both called out by creators of the new thing and probably a major reason the new thing exists. The devs that found new thing start advocating for it while bashing the old thing. Like I said I think it is fine and healthy to advocate for and want to improve tooling, it just bugs me when it is done while bashing what was likely a fairly thankless labor of love.
