react-testing-library and Tailwind are two tools that I use that I feel the userbase are a bit cult-like. I don't know if it's "not invented here" syndrome so much as people use tools based on people, not always just merit. Kent and Adam had similar self-promotion engines running with long-form free video tutorials and strong social media presence, blog posts online, etc. Perhaps this style of promotion more of a tool more than anything is effective at changing the status-quo tools? (Not saying they're necessarily better or worse, just my observation of why they may have become popular)
