Is it better to adopt the same technologies used at work to be effective on your home projects ?

Is it better to start developing an home project using the same technologies used at work to be more productive and effective?
I'm not talking about a simple hello world web page but an home project with all bells and whistles that one day, maybe, you could sell on internet.
This dilemma is often subject of flames between me and a friend.
He thinks that if you want to make a great home-made project you need to use the same technologies used daily at work staying in the same scope too; for example, a c++ computer game programmer should develope an home-made c++ game.
I'm pretty sure that developing using the same technologies used at work can be more productive at beginning, but surely less exciting and stimulating of working with other languages\ides\libraries out of your daily job.
What's your opinion about that?
