The infrastructural parts are marvelous indeed; as they have been for decades. If you mean the web, it's a marvel... that it works at all. It's a "marvelous" pile of bad engineering bolted on as fast as humanly possible.
I guess GP's worry is that if a field gets dominated by people with no respect for the quality of their work, the whole field will be built out of bad tools - which is in long-term harmful for everyone, specialists and laymen alike.
