Otherwise, we don’t need 10 different tools for building—what is at the end of the day—a simple website or CRUD application.
Complexity isn’t a good thing. Creating complexity is the first sign of inexperienced coders.
I've seen many times that trying and understanding a new framework leads to me implementing something in a better way in a framework I was already using.
How about putting a pin on technologies that are unproven and immature? Because many projects (and careers) have died a painful death because an overeager developer decided to bet the farm on a shiny flavor of the month because it was trending.
I'm in mostly the same camp as the parent in that I prefer solutions that are proven over years instead of the latest shiny thing, but new tech also brings a lot of interesting ideas to implement in a "proven over time" stack.
Not the author of the parent comment; but with bristling replies like this, aren’t you dismissing the experience of those who, through years of experience, have become weary, and disillusioned, and a bit cynical? Isn't it also a valuable perspective (don't go for the new and shiny; stick with the tried and true), delivered in exactly the same way many older craftsmen have historically shared their knowledge with the younger and more enthusiastic ones?
