Not everyone is.

Personally I found it slightly funny but only because there is some truth to it. Sometimes I really miss the smoothness of 90s era of app design - you could create relatively complex interfaces and test them very quickly. And the things you learned in Delphi 1 were still mostly valid in Delphi 6. When I compare it to what is needed to create a modern app in React, there is an abyss of difference - in terms of initial setup, tooling complexity, diagnostics, and maintenance.

Oh don't be a sad panda.

Maybe OP isn't familiar with the Show HN rules, which state that you can only submit something you've personally worked on.

Or maybe OP really has worked on all these things. Without more context, it's hard to say.
