yep, this is both unpopular and fully true (does not really change the overall quality of say electron, but for ui frameworks everything else is worse or just rotting away).

we have gone backwards as far as home automation and technology go. twenty years ago you would have an alarm system and a 7-day thermostat. now everybody whips out their phone when their ring goes off and theyre manually swiping their thermostat up and down.

winforms is better than anything xaml based and should be your first choice when making a windows app. especially now that it’s being maintained again.

This week I found a subtle mistake I made because the unit test failed. So you're wrong.

i'm mean I guess so, but shipping an employee a new laptop is way better than shipping them a new desktop and for that reason alone they are the standard

emacs is better than vim but vim has better keybindings

either emacs or vim (with ctags or a language server) as your main text editor is actually fine; you don't need an ide unless you're writing java
