I disagree that it's possible to paint all developers using this language with such a broad brush. By this notion everyone that uses Rails loves being a "ninja" and monkey patching.

My comment was about the language, not the people. I have no doubt that there are many good programmers who use Java.

But I'm not sure one can be a good programmer if Java (or any other mediocre language) is the only thing she knows.
