“Software doesn’t exist yet” is a huge user cost
As a consumer, I tend to prefer the thing that is available a bit later (or more expensive) and works well, versus the one that is available sooner (or cheaper) and is less reliable. Maybe that preference is a result of years spent fixing things that could've been designed better?
Many people would argue you with you that the "easier" programming languages are no less reliable, context depending. Framing this in the context of the article a CRUD app, there are plenty of reliable frameworks in many languages.
