>If clients wants language XYZ then XYZ it is.

I don't care how much you pay me (well, not in a practical sense), I'm not going to bash a bunch of screws in with a hammer. In my industry, the languages and tools do in fact matter and impact the quality of the project. It's hard enough as is without some unreasonable clients saying "oh yeah, can you make this in powerpoint?"

I'm exaggerating with that metaphor, but it's honestly not as much as I'd wish. I envy your clients. But I'm not too surprised, either. That's just a result of my domain, sadly.
