I was looking for a workflow engine and saw Workflow advertised as "designed to fit into your system rather than force your system to fit to it". The problem with flexibility is its susceptibility to bad design and architecture when the wielder's expertise is lacking.

Also, technology oversaturation and fads can be largely avoided by sticking to server-side, backend, core business process and logic development. Or alternatively mitigated by coercing an existing framework into solving a particular problem and then hoping the requirements don't change. Heh.
