You seem to be implying that if people are offered a job at Google, they
will take it no matter what they do or what technology they use. This might
be true today because of Google's popularity as an employer, but my original
claim stands: a random company using a non mainstream technology in-house
will have a harder time recruiting than others.

And probably a harder time being competitive as well since the fact that the
technology is not mainstream means that there will be very little external
support for it (StackOverflow, books, etc...).

Whatever you are using internally, there is very little (no?) drawback to
wishing it to be as mainstream as possible.
