I do like choice. I think it’s the best part of my work to make these choices and define a working architecture. But I do think it scares away companies thay are looking for a stable platform. Usually making a choice for a platform takes months, and they don’t want to redo it every year. It also means you have to retrain the developers very often, which is expensive.
