We try new things, keep what is useful and discard what is not. That is normal, why complain, just do what is best for your problem.

They complain because they discarded what is useful, breaking solved problems and needing to spend a lot of resources on working around that instead of solving the actual problem.

But this is a recurring problem in software development, people spend all their energy on setup and innovation, and relatively little on the actual value.
