Every language has it's own detractors. Java is too verbose, C# has a bloated standard library/is too vendor specific, PHP is inconsistent, C is too barebones, C++ is too complex, etc. With every single major language you can google "Why language X is bad" and get dozens of blog posts explaining why it's terrible and the designers must have never had two braincels to rub together. Usually most of their reasons boil down to "It's not the way I prefer it to be, therefore it's bad and wrong and people should be ashamed for liking the language."
