The people you refer to as "haters" are usually just professional software developers. As professionals, they don't stand for the unjustifiable inferiority exhibited thoroughly by PHP and JavaScript. So of course they'll speak out against such programming languages.

And contrary to your beliefs, what they say does have an impact. We wouldn't see so much emphasis on web development using languages other than PHP and JavaScript if what you were saying is true.
