I don't think there is laziness in falling behind the technology curve - the things that worked ten years ago still work today and if you're shipping code then what you're doing is working. But new technologies aren't overly complex and they generally make a developer's life easier, not harder, but they all come with a learning curve. And the landscape evolves quickly, so in order to leverage them you have to stay on top of it.
