A lot of software development choices are driven by fashion. Much of the time the decision making is based on thinking like "this is something cool I have heard of and it will make me feel cool to use it".
I'm almost regretting picking .NET because you are then forever cursed with "bitch, you live like this?" whenever trying out something different (the short list of issues alternatives suffer from: terrible sdk management, terrible package management or just lack of thereof, poor performance, a lot of unneeded boilerplate, unsound language semantics, poor tooling, poor quality ORMs (the main reason people hate ORMs is they never tried EF Core), few properly supported target platforms, limited languages do not let you express concepts nicely, no low-level primitives to write efficient impl., etc etc.)
When switching to AWS, I got to experience CloudWatch, and my first reaction was WTF is this ****? (and once again when I saw the bills)
