O_o I don't understand. Let me restate my point, in case it helps.

If a dev is sitting comfortably using RPG or PHP, and someone comes along and says the grass is greener with Node or RoR, the grass will have to be a lot greener for him to move. There is effort and risk involved, so the perceived payoff has to offset that. If the grass is the same shade, or just a little greener, the payout wouldn't be worth it.

Probably the same reason I use RPG for web apps. I know it and haven't found a compelling reason to change (and I have looked).
Which might be one definition of 'not easier'.
