I think the article misses the point. I don't really see the direct connection between toolset and innovation.

Did Apple innovate with iPhone because they used better silicon, glass, metal, etc than Motorola or Nokia? No, their innovation was based on their people and their vision.

To me, innovation is about ideas, not tools. You can innovate with either (or any!) platform. I, like many others, simply choose to innovate with Drupal.
