Give me an experienced programmer who doesn't know the stack over a junior who does any day.

Knowing the stack is often syntax related and doesn't take long to learn. Knowing best practices does take longer to learn, but its easy to point experienced people in the right direction. Knowing how to write elegant solutions and how to do high level architecture takes longer still, thats where experience comes in.
