We don't have alternatives that are better than cl-lib and
pcase, and their widespread use shows it.

This whole discussion is just disrespectful, polarizing and
alienating anti-cl-lib and now anti-pcase for no reason and
with no alternatives.

It is completely unrealistic to think anyone will write
replacements for cl-lib and pcase that are so superior, yet do
not contribute to complexity, that we can fully rely on
them instead.

But if that is what you are hoping for, why don't we revisit
this discussion if and when that happens?
