Ouch, you posted this on the internet.
Somebody, somewhere is certainly going to claim this. Some of the people with that claim are even going to have a rationale behind it.
And to be fair, the tooling is going to push a lot of opinion. Because as bad as the JS/TS tooling is, its UI component has been evolving steadily while every other tool stagnated. And by now it has quite probably surpassed the 90's RAD paradigm (I mean, I can't make up my mind).
IMO, the language is one of the main things holding those tools back, but most people just won't agree.
