From my experience, I would say that using/forcing a technology just because it's the one you know will bring you more problems than benefits in the long run.

Agreed, and I never said you should.
But building a Windows App with a Node.js back-end using Maven to manage your Clojure packages because ReactJS is the popular kid on the block will end in tears 
Ok, that's not even possible, but you get my drift.
New project, new frameworks. Old projects, be very careful.
Don't experiment too much, because each new framework has it quirks and you're going to make mistakes learning and implementing it.
If you're going to use AngularJS use AngularJS and don't use Ember for another page and Knockout for yet another page.

Sure, that's like the other edge of the problem:
Using everything you can just because you can. 
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.

Yeah, I worked for such a company.
Well, they did call themselves a Microsoft company.
If you wanted our software you had to have Microsoft systems.
Nothing wrong with that, as long as you know it.
We never tried to run WinForms on Apple 
Anyway, mentioning anything besides MS was a sin in the company, that's really the only thing that bothered me about it

So I guess "all of the above"?

And a hearty 'none of the above' would also be nice.
