It is really easy to complain. People also complain about every popular programming language, but it is really hard to make something that is actually better. It is easy to make something that you yourself think is better, but it is hard to make something that is better in practice.

Personally, I stopped complaining about Java, Perl, and PHP when I didn't have to read or write them anymore for work.
