As much as I completely agree with your attitude, and try to live it myself, software engineers don't get to make their own tooling choices. That is the fundamental problem here. We don't get to choose the technology(framework) that will result in the least amount of hassle and easiest to maintain software artifact. Instead, we get stuck using what someone else chose for us.
