I fall in a different camp. If somebody proposes to use a brand new hot technology in a project that is planned to exist more than a few weeks, I tend to politely stop them in their tracks and use a stable reputable solution proven by time.

You see, new hot technology is always replaced by another newer hot technology, and after hotness wanes, projects often become a abandoned and unmaintained.

Extra this if the proposed hot new tech comes from Google. In this case person pushing it should not only be stopped, but also slapped hard, to help come back to senses.
