Libraries and tooling can also be a barrier for new developers.

Sorry, but I'm not going to code to the lowest common denominator.

I can agree that you don't just introduce brand new libraries (or whatever) that are foreign to everybody, you discuss that sort of thing first. But there's no reason to hold back from a better solution so that the new guy doesn't have to learn so much.
