> Popularity and quality are not really correlated, so the first point is false

Popularity is a good enough proxy for how good a given tool is at a given task. Go give 100 people a hammer and a tootbrush and ask them to nail a plank, and you can divine the relative usefulness of each tool based on the number of people who used each.

> As for the second, nobody has to prove anything to you

Nobody is beholden to anyone, but if you're putting a contrary position forward with no evidence be prepared to be asked to elaborate. Such is life.
