1. People think differently. Some languages suit some people better than they suit other people. The language you're so enthusiastic about, that feels like a revelation to use, is one that fits you. Others don't share your enthusiasm, not because they're dumb, not because they haven't tried, but because the language does not fit them.

2. There is no "best" language for all people or all tasks - not Haskell, not Lisp, not Python.

3. People who answer "what's your most..." with more than one response should learn to count.

Um... oops.

I agree with 1 and 2. But, with 3, sometimes "your most" isn't always clear or known which one is the most, or it is more useful to mention more than one anyways (like you and many other people (including myself) did).
