I think what @shaneckel meant to ask was more about Apple supporting new Web standards (like ServiceWorker and Web Manifest), rather than packaged webapps. You do make a solid point though. Apple will always push native over the Web.
While I do agree with you — that over-tooling and over-engineering are bad — I still had to downvote. Picking on individual projects, into which thousands of people have put their time and effort, is just not right. If you disagree with their principles, and wish to criticize, then please do so in a civil, objective way. The last thing Hashnode needs is trolls.
Haven't really got any complaints about any programming language, besides the boring boilerplate in Java. (Lisp parens repel me, but meh). One thing that has always irked me is EJS. The angular brackets, = s and % s are not the most intuitive symbols to reach out for on a regular en-US keyboard. I find Mustache/Handlebars' braces much more approachable. Also, adding newlines conditionally in EJS requires some really weird hacks.
This is a real problem with the enterprise sector. Some companies and people can be not only cautious, but even outright skeptical about adopting anything less than five years old. As young developers, we often find this to be a hindrance in productivity. However, for huge monolithic projects, the management often has to ask themselves a number of questions before taking a step. I'm yet to see a solution that bridges this gap.
