Anybody else invested heavily in a framework just to find a better one appear right at the end?

Hello everybody! So I basically spent about 1 month on the DEEP DEEP end of Langchain's Langgraph entire framework. I did their official fully 6 full modules from their Langchain Academy - and each module has like 5 sections! I learnt everything I possibly could about langgrah, I even created my own sort of shortcut snippet modular version of it where I could easily within a couple of keystrokes spin up all kinds of complex combinations at will, and even host it and spin it up in a UI, with tracing and everything. THEN ADK drops! Then I feel that overwhelm of dear lord, is everything now going to be like ADK. And even though I was in denial it was very obvious that ADK will soon be the superior more integrated option - And it seemed like it was just more powerful! - So I then like in bits in pieces starting to go through the documentation, and then I quickly realized something - WOW Learning Langgraph actually made learning ADK soooooo much easier and FAST - Because all the main patterns of agents, like workflows and extremely complex state managment I have already learnt then NOW with ADK I could see it was all kind of the same concept just a different flavor, a differnt way of going about doing it - And within 2 days I feel extremely confident with ADK and Brandon's tutorial definitely helped - So I guess I am writing this post to share my experience how now I am 100% sure I will be stickin to ADK cause it has literally everything you can ask for and you have Custom Agent if you wanted to go SUPER weirdo mode, its there for you! So my point is anything you learn actually really helps your brain understand the concepts at a much deeper level, and any new framework will become so much easier to learn and it almost gives you different perspectives and creativity to skin the same problem. Anyways its my first post ever, I dont leave my coding computer much these days, so thought to be social and show some love to Brandons group since his tutorial has really helped me!
