This was my experience as well when I first tried to experiment with Kotlin for backend web development (coming from a py/rb/jS background).
I would still happily use Kotlin if I had to be on the JVM, but I came away with the impression that most – certainly not all – of the libraries and tools in the ecosystem are... not to my taste.
