Yes, it matters. It matters because good frameworks have values related to commercial success. They are easier to use, they are easier to test, they allow you to provide services in faster and more reliable ways, etc. The framework matters a great deal. I am sure that there are many architectures out, there, for example, built on the middleware concept. That does not mean they are equal to SOA. Presumably there will be new languages as well that will eclipse the old ones. That is progress. The eclipse happens because there is real value in the products and not just the idea that they are "cutting edge".
