I agree with you on people who are constantly chasing the ball, but I also think that's a false dichotomy. To me, if there's someone who can demonstrate a deep understanding of the features that lend merit to newfangled tech, _and_ they have a track record of delivering well architected, appropriately engineered products, that's a win all around.
It's pretty easy to find people who use "boring tech" and still fall prey to the hazards of overengineering, slow delivery, etc.
