It doesn't. The controller simply acts as a mouse/minimal keyboard outside Steam.

IntelliJ will detect cases like that, yes. But it is difficult and slow to get IntelliJ to inspect your whole project like `tsc` does. With PHPStan or such tools you can do that more easily, but they still have interop problems due to non-s

This may be a regional thing. I've seen Drupal 6/7 on a lot of sites where the original dev threw together five content types in the admin GUI and told the admin how to post new content. It worked well and was certainly less worri

It definitely feels that way, yes. I've mostly dealt with small businesses looking for the lowest bidder and medium businesses unable to spend a fortune on software licenses and highly-experienced devs, and PHP fits that segment well.

Those JS pickers are going to be needed for a long time still, because native widgets are a nightmare to style consistently. Apparently nothing has been learned from the <select> styling minefield of the past.
