There is a quote of Linus that impacted how I select technology, something like

> I choose Fedora because it just works. I want to spend my time working on the kernel, not fiddling to get my OS to work.

So I choose mature technologies for the non-core competencies I'm working with, so I can focus on those core competencies. It's a medicine for NIH syndrome.

I'm personally switched from (n)vim to vscode for this reason, so I can now fiddle with a custom agent setup.
