The tendency to go for most popular library/framework/etc, with all the assorted justifications (which are valid to a degree and thus misleading) is an indication of just how rampant cargo culture is in software. Everybody always looking for the default thing to throw at the wall, hoping it solves their problem. And it’s fine, for prototyping and fast growth “products” (really mvps and demos) but with anything serious you must do the required legwork to figure out what is actually needed, and it’s often best to limit dependencies on external libraries and frameworks as much as possible.
