Also there's the strange and mysterious valley group-think syndrome. I've seen this with several products/technologies over the years. I suspect it comes from the VCs, but I'm not sure. The latest example is "you should be using EC2". There always follows a discussion where I can present 50 concrete reasons based on hard experience why the suggestion is a bad idea and the other person presents nothing besides "everyone's doing it". I saw exactly the same thing with MySQL a few years ago. Before that it was Oracle. It's often easier to go along with the flow and get some work done vs. trying to argue.
