As a developer, I appreciate having an interest in and using different technical combinations, but as a site maintainer I've been wrestling with how to accommodate different tech stacks with limited time and developer resources. It's lead me to start questioning the developers choice of tech vs. what the right tech choice for the organization. There's an assumption the developer will choose the right tech, but frequently the client has no idea how to access tech decisions and developers are left to pursue whatever they choose. There are use cases where a custom stack is appropriate and other cases where a an off-the-shelf solution (like WordPress, Django, Drupal, etc) has better options for long term support. I'm not saying this is the case at arduino.cc, but the blog post did trigger that reaction.
