I need work too badly to care if I'm an exact match.
I'm a big boy and can take no for an answer, so I'm not afraid to ask for anything. I don't misrepresent what I can do and mention that I am always learning new techniques so can easily pick up on anything they do with which I am unfamiliar.
Exact matches are scarce.
I am absolutely applying anyway. This job market is really rough. Anything that I have 75% of the skills for, I am applying to. I am just really hoping to land something soon.

I would still apply anyway, you never know who else is applying
No job will be 100% match, don’t limit yourself. Additionally, with EA new job your goal should be to add to the skills list, new software, new tools, new experiences. If your not learning, you’re limiting yourself and a potential stagnant growth.
Apply apply apply. Maybe they expect you to be an exact match but frankly that's unreasonable and there's no harm in applying. Just don't apply to very poor matches because then you're just adding noise that makes it harder for other good matches to cut through. But even if you meet 50% of the stack, or have an interest in what they use, give it a go. Just my 2c.
