Generally accepting?
I've lived thru null terminated strings, ASN.1, NULL values in SQL, C++, XML, CORBA/COM+, WSDL/SOAP, XSD, event buses, EJBs, ORMs, etc. (I'm forgetting a few dozen, I'm sure.)
You wouldn't believe the grief we XML skeptics got, back in the day. Being right and $2.50 will get you a bad cup of coffee. Pointing out the emperor's nude hardly seems worth it.
JavaScript is another obvious, terrible, avoidable, costly mistake. Only proving that even pigs fly, given enough thrust.
This too shall pass. Just find a way to suffer thru it.

It's okay to be wrong. We learn thru our failures. But intellectual honesty is kinda important. For example, Ryan Dahl (creator of nodejs) now mostly recommends Go. I can't overstate how impressed I am with his candor, efforts. (He kinda reminds me of Bill Joy.)
Alas, generally, people don't remember when they've changed their mind(s). Which is why, how propaganda works.
This cognitive quirk is the one thing that truly scares, depresses me.
