Each one can choose their own tools of course, but we often see llms shown as solutions to something presented as unsolvable before, while it already was pretty amenable to normal tools.

I see that as a symptom of being intellectually lazy, or not knowing the value in mastering a tool via deliberate use over time.
Once one invests the required time to use a tool properly, they can reap way more benefits from said tool when compared to jumping tools at minute's notice.
