Nah, leave the naive stuff like that for the kindergarten/junior school.

People pick the tools given what they have, what skills are available in
the market, what skills are going to be available in the market, how much
different skills do & will cost, what it means for portability to
future platforms etc.etc.etc.

The time when techies got to pick the tools is long gone.
