It is a weird trend. I see the appeal of Skills over MCP when you are just a solo dev doing your work. MCP is incredibly useful in an organization context when you need to add controls and process. Both are useful. I feel like the anti-MCP push is coming from people who don't need to work in a large org.

Not sure. Our big org, banned MCPs because they are unsafe, and they have no way to enforce only certain MCPs (in github copilot).

Any kind of social push like that is always understood to be something to ignore if you understand why you need to ignore it. Do you agree that a typical solo dev caught in the MCP hype should run the other way, even if it is beneficial to your unique situation?
