Designer: “Our team switched from Figma to Penpot. Users are going to love our product now” Sounds absurd doesn’t it? End users don’t care about your design tool OR Programming Language you use to build a product. Focus on outcomes, not the tool.

How do you counter-balance the high-budget hype-based marketing from VC-backed dev tools companies? You talk about your alternative tech stack, & don’t let anyone tell you it’s sub-par. If it gets the job done for you, use it proudly. And then talk about it publicly.

The problem with massively-funded dev-tools / frameworks: They can heavily market potentially bad ideas as game-changers, convince a generation of developers that this is the one true way. Then it takes another generation of pain for the flaws to rise above the strong marketing
