Agreed. Clearly, hyperbole on either side isn’t terribly helpful in assessing the actual utility of any technology. It’s strange to me that logic is foundational to programming yet many programmers take illogical “all or nothing” stances on many topics.
From what I've experienced personally, it's even easier for that attitude to propagate through newbies.
I got really excited when I was out of college and the MEAN stack showed up. I figured it was the future and it definitely did mean being able to use the same language on both client and server.
After a long back-and-forth (a few years with limited spare time), I finally settled on Laravel and Vue (I was already working with PHP, so Laravel was a more natural choice for me in the end).
Gotta say, it would've been a much easier decision if I hadn't gotten so caught up in the hype. Sticking with PHP isn't so bad, but reassessing is far easier when it's not happening at the end of getting burned out chasing the band wagon.
