The more I use a tool the more I become aware of its warts and the more they start to irritate me. Lots of things which I used to sing the praises of have lost their magic to me. Vim, i3, linux distributions (arch and later slackware), the unix shell in general, various browsers, weechat/irc, android apps such as Transportr and Episodes (both in fdroid), programming languages (python and C), hell even websites and communities (such as this one), and many more things are tools that at one point I would've raved about, and while I still like them, their various sets of unfixable flaws keep me from fully enjoying them and recommending them whenever the topic comes up.
I assume this is the way everything eventually goes. Currently I'm over the moon with Lua (pun intended), as I think it's a very neat little language housing a ton of power and expressiveness in an impressively tight package. I haven't been able to use it since I last tried Löve2d over 6 years ago, as I have actively been trying to but haven't gotten a chance to properly use it again, so I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.
