Sadly, the unit-test everything mentality leads to a lot of problems in other languages as well. Often times, it provides little to no benefit to anyone while adding complexity to code and changing design for the worse. In a typical application, there are few methods that really benefit from unit tests and even fewer bugs prevented and/or caught by them yet still I see designs being modified to accommodate unit testing while other types of testing that could be useful are generally ignored. Even refactoring, which is the real purpose of unit testing, is generally not much helped by it.
