When the company you work for is burning VC money with no hope or intention of profitability, the only rational technology choice you can make as an engineer is to pick a promising but unproven technology which could boost your resume and help you land your next gig more easily. Or you simply pick it because you like and want to work with it and there is no one to stop you. I'd be very happy to hear I am wrong about this and see a profitable company with an established product using it.

If you have a problem to solve and nobody's telling you you have to use certain tools to solve it, why not try a new tool yourself and see if it solves it better than the old ones? I do this whenever I can on client projects and I've found some rather pleasant tools this way.
