"Reap the benefits" is, again, subjective. It's something you like, not something objectively beneficial or worth the trade-offs in all, most, or even necessarily many projects.

This is precisely the unduly arrogant attitude amongst Gophers that others have already mentioned several times in this thread.

You’re welcome to disbelieve me on the consensus. I’m not trying to persuade you of anything.

Of course, productivity isn’t for everyone. Sometimes for personal projects I’ll opt for things that exercise my creativity and cleverness over the purely productive or pragmatic.

Hah! This made me laugh. Yes, I disagree with you therefore I must be arrogant. (:
