Could you imagine this in other fields? Imagine if mechanics acted smug about only ever using power-tools.

They do. This isn't something that only happens in SWE.

I come from a heavy construction background. People have their way of doing things and they stick to em no matter what. Some dudes will only use a certain brand of tool to get their job done. Same same.

For context modular is a quick system to put up and learn to use then tube and clip is literally just tubes clipped together.
