"Hey these tools are kind of disappointing"
"You just need to learn to use them right"

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.
