You may be joking, but I really think some of these posts may be by design. Some of these frameworks are so easy to use and in skilled hands lead to such impressive results, that it becomes harder to get a competitive advantage with UX. A single developer can do today what once took a small team. Thus we see these fucked up ladder kicking posts where people are encouraged to go use last generation tech, so they get left in the dust by companies pushing ever forward. By the time they realize how far behind they’ve fallen, it’s too late.

When was this, in the 80's? Web productivity is just catching up to RAD platforms like Visual Basic in the 90's and still a lot more complicated than a good UI framework like Gtk/Qt.
