I've been looking all through here for someone to finally make this most obvious point. Even for those of us who use mostly stack overflow/google, it's much cheaper to wait on someone else to run into your problem and document the solution than to be first into the fire. We've relied on this strategy for a couple of decades now. I don't think the OP has demonstrated that adoption rates for new tech have changed in any way since AI. > Also, popular frameworks usually have better code, because they have years of bug-fixes from being tested on many production servers, and the API has been tailored from real-world experience. Overall I am very resistant to the idea that popular==good. I'd say popular==more popular. Also I think there's often a point where feeping creaturism results in tools that are overcomplicated, prone to security bugs and no longer easy to use.
