> Shying away from a tool just because it has a reputation is just as silly as using it for a hype.
Trying to explain this to a team is one of the most frustrating things ever. Most of the time people pick / reject tools because of "feels".
On a related note, I never understood the hype around GraphQL for example.
I heavily dislike GraphQL for all of the reasons. But I'll say that for a lot of developers, if you are already setting up an API gateway, you might as well batch the calls, and simplify the frontend code.
I don't buy it :) but I can see the reasoning.
