Okay, what part of what I said are you trying to refute or educate me on?

There's a large proportion of posters on HN who spend their days building web apps. They are very likely to stick to using what they know, even when building web sites.

If you spend your days working as a welder, and suddenly need to build a box for some reason, you're probably not going to be breaking out the fine wood joinery tools. You're probably going to take some sheet steel and weld up a box and move on to whatever else you have to do.

It's not a problem, it's not a fault, it just how things are.

Not the GP, but that's why, when applicable, I try to prefix my replies with a variant of "I agree, and btw..."
