While I agree this is something we need to address, I gotta
say: I *strongly* consider that attitude to be highly
indicative of a mediocre-at-best developer.
This is engineering, not fucking fashion. Popularity has no
place in decision making here. From everything I've seen, 90%
of the problems that exist in computing technology today can be
traced back directly to some jackass(es) weighing popularity
higher than actual technical merit.
I think you're misinterpreting some of these people. Some will be
following fashions, but many will be simply not wanting to put
time and effort in to something that they're not convinced is
going to work out in the long run.
