I get what you're saying, but I think dropping the "blub" term would make everybody better off. Using "blub" intrinsically frames the conversation in terms of one language being "the stupid one used by the stupid people", and that's likely to be counterproductive. The word always has that baggage. It's not a linear continuum, with some "most powerful language" at the top. Different styles of languages have different strong points and weak points.
