YOU CAN CHOOSE TOOLS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

People often choose obscure or outdated technologies for emotional reasons, like feeling connected to a certain tradition or aligning with specific aesthetics. They then create rationalizations for these choices, downplaying the downsides of their preferred tech and exaggerating the drawbacks of popular alternatives. However, it's perfectly fine to use tools that bring you joy without any need for justification.
