Came here to write this, but @mywittyname did it better.
Young colleagues have tendency to use framework/technology as a solution to a problem, while it's always an instrument to reach a goal.
Older colleagues can assess solution for multiple point of views - security, long term manageability, integrability, support, etc. Younger colleagues are focused mostly on narrow field due to lack of experience.
Obviously it's generalisation so take it with a grin of salt.
