Programmers may care about performance, but project managers certainly don't and they always have the final say

LOL no. Offer a dev choice between a framework that is trending on Twitter, vs one that is 100x faster but "legacy" (meaning more than a year old) and she'll choose the first one every time, and the project manager won't know the difference, or care if he did.

If it's good to develop with, I don't care one whit whether a software framework is 2 months old or 20 years old. Besides, not everyone works on greenfield projects and can pick what framework they want.
