All programming languages have short comings. The once you mention here even more so I believe :)

Picking a favorite out of a very small subset is mainly personal choice. If you are happy with the toolset and the programs you create, I think you made the right call.

I see this too, but I believe it's more specific to web development. A lot of people program C and they are generally not bullied for that.
