It's with so many things! Some evergreens just from last week here on HN:
- Rails is horribly slow!
- Python is still stuck migrating to Python 3!
- MySQL doesn't scale!
- Haskell tooling sucks!
- io_uring is insecure!
- ... and dozens more just in the programming world. These are just off the top of my head. Probably hundreds more in the wider engineering world.
MySQL would happily clobber your data silently for decades though.
I think the situation is better now, but that was worthy criticism for a long time; like anything though, those that bought into it wholeheartedly couldn’t take the criticisms.
I wonder if there’s a word for that, seems to be a common issue.

"invested"
From my perspective python3 migration is very much complete. Package managers is the evergreen mess now.
