One really idiotic example of this was at a prior work place (where we inherited idiots due to a merger) where the entire new dev team switched from C++ to Java "so that they could decode XML files", something that apparently was "impossible to do in C++" and the new CTO was amazed when I told him that we in the old dev team decoded XML files with C. I think that he still to this day believes that I lied to him. That was btw the same brain trust that spent a whole year planning before they upgraded their compiler in Solaris.
