As far as my personal use goes, I certainly agree, but as far as usage by
programmers in general goes, that doesn't seem to be the case at all.
Languages like Javascript and PHP are prime examples. Most everyone thinks
that they're horrible, but they get used heavily. And personally, I'd
definitely label Java as being totally mediocre, but tons of folks use it.
Honestly, if anything, it often seems like it's the worst languages which
get used the most. :(
