I would agree with that, though perhaps more about PHP than Java. We like to say "use the right tool for the job" and "you can write bad code in any language", but that's just a way of seeming egalitarian and not really dealing with the issue. It feels bad to talk about shitty programmers but they're kind of a problem.
