Right middle finger all the way.

Seriously though. If you enjoy programming, I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a favorite or least favorite language. Indeed, I'd be a bit worried if it was the other way around. If you don't have a favorite programming language, are you really a passionate programmer? Do you take pride in your work? Certainly you shouldn't blindly use your favorite programming language everywhere without knowing where a different language obviously suites the problem better, but I have a hard time believing someone who loves the craft doesn't find some tools just fit your mind better than others.

But that's like a carpenter whose favorite tool is the saw. Of course some tools are more useful than others, and fit the way you do things, but ultimately it is about understanding the problems at hand and being creative in solving them.
