Exactly... I know for my own hobby projects I like to trial new technologies, so I can get a feel for them, and learn the in's and out's of them. And more than once I have rewritten one in a new technology for no other purpose than to familiarize myself with it.
I do admit that I quite like the MVC platform, and I find it supports TDD much better. And I naturally gravitate to Web API over WCF (which I feel is overly complicated for normal web-services). When it comes to commercial projects, the opposite is true; I try to keep it stable and conservative, and I'd select WCF over Web API due to the difference in maturity.
