I disagree with it for another reason. I'm tired of developers solving language design problems by piling on more and more complexity, tools and libraries. This is a self-defeating approach, because those tools and libraries often have their own issues, and instead of fixing those, people pile on even more tools and libraries. The process goes on and on. It may feel like progress, but it doesn't really go anywhere. Java was a good example of this. Instead of fixing core language issues, people used increasingly sophisticated IDEs and put more and more things into XML. Instead of adding essential functionality to the standard library, everyone said "just download this great third-party JAR". At the time Java community said the workarounds were good enough. Right now it's obvious that they were completely wrong, the pileup of complex tools wasn't sustainable and that the language itself needed improvements.
