" don't always need to do the things the big guys are doing" +1 for that one

I am also doing exactly that, but there is a cost in the near future term, as that will obstruct me for applying for jobs that require skills that the big guys are asking for. Sometimes I am even told that the non open source project are better because the big guys are paying for them. So I think that people who want to learn, should not care about trends, that is what it means to have an analytical mind.
