It's like the two types of languages: the ones everybody complains about, and the ones nobody uses.

VB6? I mean, you could do some great things with it, and it was pretty easy to do things with. That said, so many people doing things with it didn't really know what they were doing, had no UX understanding and just created slop.

I think half the issues people have with AI today are simply because AI has seen just as much slop in the real world as it has "good, clear code."
