Of course, that's true. But my understanding is, the technology choice is not about succeeding or failing - a good team with good plans can succeed with just about any tech that can somehow do the job. It's about costs. Complex but featureful tech may drive development costs down, but may also result in significantly higher maintenance costs.
Of course, but the difference doesn't tend to come across on a recruiter's spreadsheet. Nowadays, I only go by personal recommendations/references.
Just as an aside, and as an offer of XP: Tech A is largely irrelevant unless you have to execute in, say, 1 month. Success almost never depends on the tech -- it mostly depends on people.
