I remember my only interaction with someone in 2015 where they said "use moment" for something really trivial, it was a friend of a friend and he was a snarky arrogant snob. I don't remember exactly what I said other than being super passionate against it because it just complexified simple solutions because people weren't willing to read the documentation on how to use the builtins. I even wrote the solution on a scrap of paper I had in about 20 seconds. It was everything I hated about the dev community; some insistence on using hip and popular stuff that's poorly suited to a problem and being snarky and elitest snobs whenever anyone claims they are being trend following fashionistas and not doing any actual engineering. Same thing is going to happen to reactjs unless it pivots hard to being something dramatically different (which it keeps doing). When a tool makes easy things hard and hard things impossible its days are numbered regardless of how fancy and popular it looks He worked at some really well funded place, the kinds that spend enormous money to create products people hate. Holding the position against the grain when it's appropriate is necessary for the progress of the craft but my word is it a lonely place sometimes
