This is probably a style choice thing, which I understand. While I consider Bach the best of the Baroque style (although there are a lot of worthy composers in that era), I personally often find that style a bit rigid (it relied pretty heavily on a well defined set of voice leading rules, fairly strict counterpoint, etc.). Some Bach pieces (and other Baroque composers) are great for my personal tastes nonetheless, but my personal preference for music tends to come from late Romantic to early "modern" era composers.

I can easily see why programmers could get into Bach though, or other pieces that show amazing contrapuntal / strict voice leading type skills in particular -- that type of music skill is very "head oriented" / logic oriented to me.
