I did an ecommerce recipe app. It was critical to us.
We couldn't get funding, so it was important that we could build things very fast with limited resources. I also made the mistake of being a technical CEO, so dev time was very limited as I had to deal with multiple distractions from logistics to finance.
For acquisition, the tech stack was also one of the factors in the final valuation. Nobody wants to acquire something they can't maintain (although ironically this was what happened exactly).
