Greenfield projects are much less important than brownfield projects. After all, a project is new only for the first few months of its existence. After that, it all becomes legacy code :-)
And techs with mainstream adoption in the post DotCom bust era, especially if they're free and Open Source, will be around for decades. A newbie PHP programmer in 2020 will most likely be able to retire in 2065 as a veteran PHP programmer, if he/she so wishes.
