I think you'll agree that that the "industry" exists solely because software it is able to deliver "value" to individuals and companies, irregardless of tools used. Yes, we're on HN, and we're far more likely to be exposed to the latest and most shiny toys and buzzwords, but in the end, you just use the tools that you like, and can get shit done in an efficient way.
One last thing. When I was studying Physics, not a semester passed where a professor wouldn't mention Occam's Razor [1]. Maybe as CS matures with time, people will start thinking in a different way.
But is it really the direction of the industry?
