Amen.  Everytime I see one of these "language wars" start up I'm  
always amazed that folks have forgotten that these are TOOLS and like  
hardware tools, each tool has certain jobs that it is best suited  
for.  There are lots of different hammers out there but I would not  
use a tack hammer for the same job that I would use an 8 lb maul.   
That does not mean that a tack hammer is better or worse than a  
maul.  (This is not to say there are personal preferences; IMHO, for  
things that Rev is not good for, I would use almost anything rather  
than Java which I don't much care for.)
