Some tech is easier to sell than others, depending on your market. If you're an agency chasing startupy clients, for instance, the more technical people on the other side of the table want to hear that you're going to use tech that they think will look good on their résumés and/or enable them to easily hire startup-type developers, so making sales means choosing some subset of that tech that will make them nod in agreement when you name-drop it, and also enables you to deliver working software efficiently—even if you think there are better tools for the job. For several years this has meant talking about how much your teams just looooove React (whether they actually do is irrelevant). Same holds for ordinary jobs. Depending on the kinds of jobs you want, it can be a reasonable choice to settle on tech you don't really like, just because the hiring market's hot for that tech, so it's much easier to get hired and/or to command a higher salary. |

That's the thing. If you enjoy the tech, you can make a great living write the code you love. If the start-up name-droping life style is more important to you, than sure, go for it, just don't complain that the market demands XYZ.
