We don't give credit to how good some plugins are, either. In my current web app I've had to add user-defined custom fields to a few entities. It's been a nightmare (Symfony2's form library isn't designed with this in mind) and the user experience is nowhere near as nice as ACF. And for web apps, the user experience is as important as what it does. I wouldn't want to build this application on WordPress, but having components like ACF already present, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel, is making me seriously consider it for the next project.
