To me, the answer will always boil down to “because we want to” for varying definitions of “we”. This choice is almost always more about the team than the tech

This choice is almost always more about the team than the technology, regardless of the specific language or framework or widget.
- alex_lav 4y agoI wish this was less of a contentious conversation. Liking a piece of technology and being able to derive maximal value from it is like 90% of the battle. If your team dislikes a tool, they'll use it suboptimally. All of the song and dance around why some language or framework is better than all the others is usually irrelevant - a team that hates Rust but tries to use it will derive less value from their tooling than a team that loves PHP. It's not rocket science, and preference isn't a bad thing.
- falcolas 4y agoCatering to a teams preference also gives you a free morale boost. And in the current economy of random mass layoffs, any morale boosters you can find will matter more.
