For the clients I go after, they have only a passing interest in

+1 to that (except backwards: when, how much and *then* what technology)
If your client (or S.O.) seems unimpressed with the flash and dazzle
quotient of the name of your application development framework, invite
them to hire (or date) a Ruby on Rails or Java Struts programmer and
then call you back when they want something that is mature, powerful and
works.

I am reminded of the story about an engineer trying to explain the
bubbles in carbonated soda to his 3-year old son -- states of matter,
aqueous solutions, super saturation, etc. It's better just to say
"they put the bubbles in at the factory to tickle your nose".
I tell my wife that graphic designers make websites, and then I make
them *work*. I used to tell her that I was a perl hacker, but then one
day she asked why I never hacked *her* any pearls...
