To be precise, new tools are continuously created to address the weaknesses of other tools. This happens in other languages, just more slowly due to smaller community sizes.

Yeah, my point is that there is a cost for learning learning a new tool; the faster those new tools replace the old ones (instead of someone fixing the old ones), the more you have to pay of that cost.
What ideally should be happening is that existing tools get incrementally upgraded to fix issues and add improvements rather than scrapped and replaced as if they're disposable.
