In short, it's shit, but it's portable shit, polished with billions of dollars of effort. It's useful, but that doesn't mean it doesn't smell.


When people are eating shit for years, they stop noticing the smell and some even start claiming it has "the good parts" in it.


That would imply the whole thing is shit, which it isn't.



If you know of an odour free platform, the world is waiting.


A platform smelling bad is not a boolean flag. Almost every platform smells less than the web as far as actually using it goes; the web is just ubiquitous and frictionless as far as deployment.
