I'm with you on this. I'm ok with tools that tha I choose to make things easier. When a tool is a necessity it is a big red flag. Once you get to compulsory tool chains, you are working in a world of someone else's personal preferences. Android development is like this. Ironically the code I have developed for Android tries to hide all of that by providing another tool to the end of the chain that takes simple code and wraps it in a package of monstrosity for the designated 'correct path' tool chain to use.
