Sure, that's like the other edge of the problem:
Using everything you can just because you can. D'Oh! | :doh:

Anyway, when I wrote that I was more thinking about the common problem between core technologies like .Net vs. Java or things alike. So-called "Architects" tend to stick with their own tribe instead of actually designing a proper performant and logic system.
I'll not even go into details related to product fanboys like SharePoint or CRM where at some point it looks like everything should be religiously stuffed into these resource eating monsters.

Just because one is used to a certain stack it doesn't mean that everything has to fit into that stack.
If one is serious about computer science, one should be as open minded as possible and include different stacks into his toolbelt.

Sure different stacks come with integration challenges but often integration is much easier to abstract (usually even at infrastructure level) when compared to force-fit a technology where it's not meant to be.
