I watch good TLs and PMs get f'd by shitty, popular tools *weekly*. See "DX" touted heavily in orgs that hosed their conversion rates on "we can hire for..." and then lay folks off when it turns out what they're hired for wasn't what the org values. Guts me to the core.

Want to defend slow tools? Show me their docs that claim they aren't for use on mobile (a.k.a.: most computers). Desktop is a big market, after all! Those that haven't even tried have no defense. They're just poor choices in 2019 and we should be able to call spades spades.
