My point really isn't about luddite vs. anti-luddite, I'm talking about performance and how it affects users. Also, you're right that less performant or less elegant tools win out sometimes (like the good old mac vs windows debates before macos and apple in general made a come back) and that is due to a variety of reasons. That's fine, life is complicated and many factors affect who wins in life, it doesn't mean we can't still ask for better things though.

Still I don't know what bearing of all this has on the point I made above.
