That's really not true any more in a world built on top of Ruby,
Django, Node.js...
In most cases, the people using these technologies don't use the
distribution packages at all. They instead use 'rubgyem-install',
'easy_install/pip' and 'npm install'. The only thing they care about
from the distro (sometimes!) is having those tools present
who is "they"?
any countable numbers of "them"?
don't forget that you never have real numbers in case of a Linux
distribution and a few people telling you doing so is not "they"
in context of the real userbase
