It's a legitimate question, damn it. Especially if the chosen solution is not mainstream.
You don't pick non-mainstream solutions "just because". You do pick mainstream solutions "just because". As in, "just because" they are tried and true, "just because" it's familiar to devs, etc.
So let me ask the reverse question: Is that what the HN crowd [sic] has turned into? You can no longer ask the reasons behind your tech choices?
