stick to the features you like / understand.

Doesn't that only work if you're coding in isolation from bottom up? As soon as you include some library or start collaborating with someone who likes a different subset, you can't simply stick to what you know.

That might be a good point. You should come to an understanding with your collaborators on the subset you code in. That may be more difficult in an open-source setting.

BUT: This is even exaggerated in Clojure, where you are forced to learn all the little libraries your collaborators use...
