I wish I would hear this line more often.

So many things today are (pseudo-) religious now. The right frsmework/language, cloud or on prem, x vs not x.

Especially bad imho when somebody tries to tell you how you could do better with 'not x' instead of x you are currently using without even trying to understand the context this decision resides in.

Might have always been that way? We just have so many more tools to argue over now.
