In this type of discussions people always does the same: in the langauage they like they talk about all features they know and the most recent version of the language is considered, in the language they dislike, only the most commonly used features are taken into account, and 'but many people still use old versions' is mentioned. In a language the best paractices are suppossed to be used for anything in the world, in the other one talk about the worse programmers and programs they have seen. -- Salu2
