Sure - but picking one that best suits your needs doesn't mean you
can't critique its annoyances/flaws. This team-sports mentality is just
weird.

 
Some insecure people feel an attack on their favourite language is some kind
of attack or slight against them personally. Its a pathetic and juvenile trait
that unfortunately is found a lot amongst IT types.

It's not restricted to languages or IT-stuff; you can see it with
books or films or music or political or religious preferences...

In IT we had as well various "wars" in the past. More considerate
folks avoid such wars (and respect diversity of thoughts/opinions
and preferences) by focusing on the facts alone. Other folks feel
an urge to (unnecessarily) ignite them.
