I've noticed that. The more I get into web development and the more I learn, the better I am at recognizing the tools that apply to my needs. When you start fresh in any industry, the biggest challenge is trying to find the tools that best suit you. Sometimes those tools are not the ones that everyone is fawning over. I'm still new enough to not really know the subtle distinctions, but I agree that the more knowledgeable you become, the more critical you become of the tools you choose. I do feel that it's a difficult time for people coming into this industry with little background in programming, but at the same time I also recognize that the contributions of experienced programmers are making programming more assessable than it has ever been in the past. In some ways, that's a positive thing. At the same time it also means that so many people entering the field will never come to understand the core concepts that make programming an art.
