That is something as an efficiency and accessibility consultant I'm dealing with all the time. Clients who dove for a fancy, expensive, overblown technology they couldn't afford to maintain, weren't ready to use, and ended up doing more harm than good.
And why? Because it was hot and trendy. Because one of the non-coder executives read about it in Forbes. Because one staff member had a raging boner for it despite nobody else on staff being even remotely familiar with it. Because some snake oil peddler with a mountain of propaganda and lies oversold what it could do.
I see this all the blasted time, from small companies being suckered into using Turdpress when all they have is a squeeze page, to SPA driven websites that amounts to nothing more than a dozens static pages and one contact form, to full blown money-pit crApplications for companies who'd be better off with just a facebook page.
