It's great that you assume management doesn't know how to develop software.
I am a CTO of a company. I had to come in and standardize our development environment. I am an Win16/Win32/Linux/Solaris/BeOS/Mac Software Architect before I became a CTO.
Why did I force all of our developers to use one standard environment?
1. Licensing Costs -- We are not a Java house. We are a C++/C# house. So Eclipse is out. Mono is not advanced enough.
2. Build Envrionment. We have build engineers, how many different build scripts do they need to maintain?
3. Uhit Testing -- Who writes these, and in how many languages to do we have to enhance these?
So, testing is 40% and coding costs 605. Why would I standardize? It saves money. I can hire C# developer who are experienced, while the Ruby/LAMP developers are all entry level with an attitude. The reality is that C#/Java developer is much more educated and experienced than a Ruby/PHP person.
LAMP/Script Kiddies are horrible when it comes to secure web apps. They don't understand multilayer scaling. Yes, LAMP is good for 1M/pages per day, but, I don't deal in less than 100M/day.
