I always make sure to check the technology behind the software I am about to use. This gives me a rough idea of how safe it is, how it works and how comfortable I am into hacking the source if needed.

No, and that would be funny.

I generally do not objectively refuse to use something solely based on the technology behind it, but it is an important aspect to consider in the big picture while evaluating the alternatives and the actual necessity of it.
