Yes. When a client hires a developer, he cares that he receives a proper delivery and he cares that all of the decisions related to that delivery were made in his best interests. Technology choices are an important part of building a technical vision for a company and planning for software maintenance. People may not seem to care much, but that's only because they are trusting the people they hire to care and to know better than they do. When there are any questions on technology, clients appreciate and value unbiased discussion on those choices, in the context of their business. An important part of having clients, perhaps the most important, is establishing trust and one does that with success, but also a record of transparent, appropriate project decisions.
