If I was writing a script for something on the OS I'd probably use Python. Some people just really want to feel part of a group, I guess, and publicly dissing "the other" makes them feel more included in that group, or something. As for me, I like to feel like part of a group too, but it's a more inclusive "programming" group, rather than focussing on any one particular toolchain.
