While your comment seems to be a commonsense truism, there are so many new 
things constantly coming out that one cannot possibly learn them all and pick 
the best, and even then there's another one that just appeared. It is not an 
unreasonable strategy to wait a bit and see which ones have staying power. Most 
don't, and in hindsight would have been a waste of time to learn.
