Except the correct way can be just as colorful, and it takes more effort to implement the bad way.

This is objectively not true, if it were the path of least resistance would mean everyone uses the option that is fastest and best.

It takes far less effort to implement the bad way. I think people take their own skill for granted. Maybe you can but most others cannot. Maybe they will learn or maybe they are happy to put food on the table and go home at 5.

When I say "implement" I mean the big pile of code in the library. I do not believe making that entire custom mechanism was easier. There's so much to it.

Everyone else following along and merely using it I blame less, but they shouldn't have picked such a bloated library.

The bad ways effort was already paid by someone else, though.
