That "people either love or hate x" is almost always a myth created by vocal minorities. e.g. I enjoy marmite but I don't _love_ it Also consider the following: - that most people dislike it the first time (i.e. it's an acquired taste) - most first timers are introduced to it by someone who "loves" it These make all acquired tastes seem polarising even if they really aren't. ... although maybe that's what you were trying to say about perl.
