AND ANOTHER THING. "________ is fine if you use it correctly and follow best practice" is a gosh-danged tautology

You can nearly always carve out a sane subset of ________ where you can still get stuff done and not much goes wrong. That's not the point

How hard is it to carve out that subset? How big are the traps? Is best practice signposted/obvious/unavoidable, or does ________ fight it?

Clue: if there's an O'Reilly book entitled "________ Best Practices", there's an excellent chance that ________ sucks by default

"________ is okay once you're used to it, you just have to learn the quirks"? Requiring quirks to be learned is a DESIGN FAULT.
