I’m pretty sure that the answer to that question is positive: those who have worked with code that sparks joy won’t like interacting with it closely being taken away, whereas the people for whom the code they have to work with inspires misery will be thankful for the opportunity to at least slight free themselves from the shackles of needing to run in circles for two weeks to implement a basic form because everything around it is a mess.
