Admittedly, the first line is also my reaction to the likes of ASM or system level programming languages (C, C++, Rust…) because they can be unpleasant and difficult to use when compared to something that’d let me iterate more quickly (Go, Python, Node, …) for certain use cases.
For example, building a CLI tool in Go vs C++. Or maybe something to shuffle some data around and handle certain formatting in Python vs Rust. Or a GUI tool with Node/Electron vs anything else.
People telling me to RTFM and spend a decade practicing to use them well wouldn’t be wrong though, because you can do a lot with those tools, if you know how to use them well.

I reckon that it applies to any tool, even LLMs.
