Well it depends. On my case, the technology stack is always
choosen from the customers.
Our freedom to choose is quite limited.

I also don't have any problem, but my experience tells me that it
doesn't scale when you have mixed experienced developers on teams
scattered across multiple sites.
I had my share of tracking down pointer issues as senior
developer covering up the mess, while customers were keeping the
technical support ears warm. :(
I don't miss those days.
