Consider it a reverse screening function. The worthwhile employers won't give much weight to what you know[1], they'll be more concerned about your ability to think and learn. I've gotten several jobs at places using a language/platform I didn't know because I proved I could think and learn what was necessary. I don't think you'd be happy at places that are busy drinking the kool-aid of one framework or language.

Edit: [1]What languages/frameworks you know.
