You're defining ideology too narrowly.....an ideology is a system of ideas and ideals. It doesn't have to be mistaken, and it can be completely justified and correct.

"I think Javascript is better because I prefer to use technologies I know" can be part of an ideology.



It was the OP, not me, that implied ideology is something negative and linked to poor justifications. For the record, I think ideology is (or can be) a good thing in politics, but a misappropriated term in technology.

> "I think Javascript is better because I prefer to use technologies I know" can be part of an ideology.

But that's not what the OP said. Instead, it was "I think we should use Javascript because... uh... I dunno. Let's just do it!". That's not ideology by any possible meaning of the word.
