I completely disagree. All new technology goes through a pruning phase for the first few years where people realize whether it's worthwhile or not. It's like natural selection, only the fittest survive.

A technology that's been around for decades and is still considered a viable candidate will be much more reliable, documented, mature, bugfree... than some new library that is untested hasn't been worn smooth over time.
