When it comes to learning anything, we humans have a massive tendency to prefer that which is familiar. This means that when a human is faced with an obstacle and must choose between:

- An unfamiliar tool or paradigm which is custom built to solve this and all future problems (should they arise) such that time and effort is saved

- A familiar tool which has been extended this one time to solve this one problem, and which can be inellegantly extended to solve future problems potentially at the cost of time and effort

People will almost always pick the later.
