It's important not to gloss over what your actual use-case is. Don't just pick some tech because "it seems simpler". Who gives a crap about simplicity if it doesn't meet your needs? List your exact needs and how each solution is going to meet them, and then pick the simplest solution that meets your needs.

If you ever get into a case where "we don't think we're using it right", then you didn't understand it when you implemented it. That is a much bigger problem to understand and prevent in the future than the problem of picking a tool.
