This is one of the worst takes I've ever heard.

There's a reason industries have standards. If you replace established libraries with vibecoded alternatives you will have:

- less documentation

- less tested code

- no guarantees it's doing the right thing

- a dice roll for whether it works this time on this project

- a bad time in general

langchain is stuck in innovator dilemma - it was built for gpt 3.5, or 4, it needs a different design for todays models, but cant evolve because of existing users and backward compatibility

just like jQuery still exists and is being actively developed

Or maybe it was poorly designed from the start, for there were no precedents.
